MISSION

Since 2011, "summer" in Lugano has rhymed with LongLake Festival: the multidisciplinary urban open air that brings a wave of cultural events for everyone to the shores of Lake Lugano. Concerts, theater performances, family activities, meetings and conferences, urban art performances that allow for exciting, creative, relaxing experiences on the shores of the Ceresio.

A winning synergy

The Festival is the result of a team effort involving the Events and Congress Division of the City of Lugano, local and international artists and cultural associations, in a synergy that consolidates year after year, making the LongLake Festival one of the largest and most interesting open air festivals in Switzerland.

We jokingly translate Lugano's lakefront into a LongLake, making it a Festival to add to the enchanting panorama as a whole experience.
