The month of December is filled with fun and joy! Even those who don’t celebrate Christmas will find plenty of interesting activities. Read on and don’t forget to book the events or shows you would like to take part in as a family, as places are limited for some, and they will disappear quickly!

 

NOËL A CAROUGE

Things to do for families in Geneva It’s hard to describe Christmas in Carouge in just few sentences, as this district has events big (and small!) planned for the Christmas period! Its charming buildings will be turned into an advent calendar; there will be carriage rides, a big carrousel, an ice skating rink, pony rides, a Christmas market (December 7th to 9th), workshops for kids, theatre shows, concerts, and much more.

 

WHEN

December 1st till 24th

WHERE

Various locations around Carouge

MORE INFO

You can find the whole program in a downloadable pdf here.

 

 

MAKE YOUR OWN DRAGON

Things to do for families in Geneva To add some diversity into the Christmas season, why not take a challenge and make your own dragon? Fondation Baur offers a workshop for children aged six and above in its Chinese section. First, children will be taken to see the dragons in the museum’s rooms, and discover their meaning and secrets. After that, they will be invited to create a dragon of their own! The whole activity will last approximately an hour and a half.

Sunday, December 2nd; 16h

WHERE:

LA POUPEE CASSEE

Things to do for families in Geneva This show, for kids aged four and above, tells the story of a little Mexican girl, who grew up to be an internationally famous painter: Frida Kahlo.Lively, curious and a little daring, Frida loves to climb trees and do acrobatic feats with her capuchin monkey. She lives a carefree and happy childhood in the lush garden of her home, Casa Azul, surrounded by laughter and birdsong. An ideal life, if not for the growing pain in her right leg caused by Polio, and in her back because of a bad bus crash. By taking us back-and-forth between Frida’s past and present, adulthood and youth, reality and dreams, comedian and puppet, this new creation of TMG, accompanied by the music of Pierre Omer, is a colourful celebration of resilience, seen through the artistic universe of one of Mexico’s most iconic artists

WHEN:

From December 5th to 23rd. Please check this website for the show’s precise timings.
