Project details

This year, the 18th annual Geneva Music Festival will take place June 20th through 22th, 2008. The "Village of Associations" will host 50 booths within the Music Festival area, held by non-profit organizations. Each year, food and refreshment booths are set up for the numerous visitors attending the Festival. The purpose of the organizations must be to promote cultural, social, educational, humanitarian or environment causes.
