Festival Antigel, Pillowgraphies La BaZooKa

The Antigel Festival was born in 2010 and is totally made in (My Big) Geneva. The Festival has brought music, dance, sports, collaborations, crazy projects and iconic parties as an antidote during the cold Swiss winter for the past 10 years and has become a trademark for cultural entertainment.
While the festivities will start with the usual Antigel Run (5th edition), awaken your senses with a wide variety of artistic performances and shows.

To help you choose, here’s a Big selection of events to attend:
