About Scènes Estivales
The Scènes Estivales d'Évian: Free concerts overlooking Lake Geneva
The Scènes Estivales d'Évian are the unmissable musical event of the summer in Évian-les-Bains. Every Friday evening from mid-July to the end of August, the port esplanade transforms into an open-air concert stage, hosting renowned artists for free musical evenings overlooking Lake Geneva and the Swiss Alps.
An exceptional setting for musical evenings
The port esplanade of Évian-les-Bains offers a spectacular setting for these summer concerts. Facing Lake Geneva, with the Swiss peaks illuminated by the setting sun as a backdrop, spectators enjoy a unique atmosphere. The concerts start at 9:15 PM and last until around 11:15 PM, offering two hours of music under the stars.
An eclectic and high-quality program
The Scènes Estivales program is resolutely eclectic, offering a different musical universe each Friday. From French chanson to pop-rock, from world music to tropical groove, each evening is an invitation to a musical journey. Over the years, the festival has hosted established artists from the French scene: Superbus, Sylvain Duthu (singer of Boulevard des Airs), Ycare, Morgane Ji, and many others.
Five Fridays, five atmospheres
With five concerts scheduled over five consecutive Fridays (sometimes with calendar adjustments), the Scènes Estivales offer remarkable musical diversity. Each evening offers a different flavor: energetic pop-punk, intimate French chanson, electrifying afrobeat, tropical cumbia, or sensitive pop. This variety appeals to a wide audience, from families to the most discerning music lovers.
A free and popular event
Access to the Scènes Estivales is completely free, with no reservation required. This free access, desired by the City of Évian-les-Bains, makes these evenings a true highlight of the summer for the inhabitants of Chablais and the many vacationers staying on the shores of Lake Geneva. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, conducive to meeting people and sharing music.
