Each year during the Pentecost weekend, the lakeside town of Évian-les-Bains comes alive with colour, creativity, and community spirit as it hosts one of the most anticipated events in the region — Festiléman. Set against the backdrop of the stunning Lac Léman, this vibrant festival is a celebration of life, talent, and togetherness, and 2025 promises to be its most exciting edition yet.
Launched in 2018, Festiléman is more than just a festival — it’s a cultural gathering that brings together artists, performers, creators, and curious minds for a weekend of discovery and joy. Now in its 6th edition, the event has grown in popularity, drawing visitors from across France and Switzerland to experience its interactive performances, workshops, music, food, and art.
Every year, the program evolves to offer something new and unexpected. This year, organisers have created an ultra-varied schedule designed to enchant guests of all ages. From children’s activities and family-friendly shows to artisan markets, concerts and creative installations, Festiléman is all about celebrating the “living” — the talent, energy and community spirit that define Évian.
This year, Festiléman takes place from Friday 6 June to Sunday 8 June 2025 along the beautiful shores of Lac Léman, just steps away from the heart of Évian-les-Bains. Events will be spread across various locations in the town, including open-air spaces, parks, and performance zones.
