Grand firework display

Fireworks at the Fêtes de Genève, 2012

Every year, on a Saturday evening of mid-August, the Geneva Festival presented a grand fireworks display (French: grand feu d'artifice pyromélodique) over Lake Geneva. The event was free although it had a budget of 500,000 to 700,000 Swiss francs.[3] The fireworks involved about forty firing stations on the lake and about 30,000 rockets; they were about one-hour long and accompanied by music.

In 2013, according to the Radio télévision suisse, hundreds of thousands of people came to Geneva to see the grand fireworks display of the Fêtes de Genève.[4] The Swiss Federal Railways organize special trains to bring the spectators home after the fireworks.[5]
