Unparalleled in its splendor and fun, the Escalade Festival in Geneva includes demonstrations, tours, music and reconstructions that take place throughout the city . The event marks the victory over the Duke of Savoy, who tried to capture the city in 1602.

History lovers will be able to watch the demonstration of weapons in the Parc des Bastions, as well as visit Passage Monetier - a narrow passage that leads to the remains of Roman fortifications and opens only once a year during the Escalada Festival

In the square of the Cours Saint-Pierre outside the cathedral a bonfire is built, as well as a hot vegetable soup (which according to legend was poured on the opponents from the fortification) and a mulled wine that everyone can try. The festival will last from December 7 to 9.
