International Tree and Lights Festival
Started in 2001, the festival invites artists from all over
Europe to decorate trees in prominent positions around the city
centre, to create artistic lighting effects and other innovative
touches. The festival presents a contemporary exhibition of
imagination and creativity, where the trees of the city have taken
the place of museum walls and are adorned with works from a
multitude of artistic disciplines. The biggest Christmas tree will
replace Geneva's Jet d'Eau fountain. Festival events include
parties, street shows and competitions, particularly the 'best
tree' competition judged by prominent art celebrities. For more
