Fungi Village

A meeting
place at the
heart of the festival

Set along one of the paths in Parc des Bastions, Fungi Village brings Geneva Fungi Fest’s main public activities together in one place.

Come to discover the festival activities, meet the teams, take part in events, enjoy something to eat and explore the open-air exhibition at your own pace.

Adventures in Parc des Bastions — Escape Game

For children

The children’s village

A space entirely dedicated to children will welcome young visitors for creative, playful workshops exploring the world of fungi.

To continue the adventure, an open-air fungal escape game will take place in Parc des Bastions. This family quest will lead players through the park along a trail of stimulating puzzles, with wonderful prizes to win.

Illustration exhibition

Fungi vs. the World

Artists brought together around a shared theme: the place of fungi in a fragile world.

Presented outdoors within Fungi Village, the exhibition is one of the festival’s main visual highlights.

The works accompany visitors as they move through the village, offering artistic, critical and imaginative perspectives on the fungal world and the transformation of our environment.

When fungi make music

At the heart of Fungi Village, the stage will feature musical creations born through contact with fungi. Electrodes capture their minute electrical variations, which are then translated into notes, rhythms and soundscapes.

Guest bands will complement these fungal performances and make Parc des Bastions resonate to the rhythm of the festival.
