Festival and Reviews
Make Your Move Urban Festival
The festival celebrating street culture: a real village with competitions and contests, shows, workshops, meetings and entertainment
Twice a year, all the galleries, art spaces and museums in the city of Lugano open their doors simultaneously and free of charge. Open Gallery also includes special events such as vernissages in the presence of the artists, readings, musical performances and aperitifs
Starting in 1994 as a music festival dedicated to emerging bands from Italian-speaking Switzerland, in 2019 the Palco ai Giovani became La Quairmesse: fostering the development of a creative environment in the musical sphere through exchange between linguistic regions, while giving important national visibility to the local scene
Making a ‘Raclette’ is a characteristic feature of Swiss culture: with friends, around a table, in a family context; something that unites. The review was created precisely with this objective: sharing interesting and artistically worthy bands, offering everything that in one way or another helps to grow, trying to create a responsive and interesting music scene
An international music festival with an alternative soul, which comes to life from a desire to scour every corner of the contemporary music scene.
