CARIBANA

Considered as the little brother of the Paléo festival, the Caribana has nothing to be ashamed of. Located at the port of Crans-près-Céligny, it offers a magnificent setting to the 30'000 festival-goers who come there 5 days a year. Formed in 1990 by a group of friends, the values of respect for the public and the environment advocated since the launch of the festival remain intact. The program is rich and varied, the volunteers will give you a warm welcome. You just have to plan the dates from June 15th to 19th.
