Wondering what's going on in and around Lausanne? Check out our picks for this week:

  • PâKOMUZé
    During the school holidays, museums across Vaud offer workshops, treasure hunts, and creative activities for children — a fun, hands-on way to explore culture as a family.
  • Tuesday – The Open 13 (English Comedy Open Mic)
    An English-language stand-up open mic night featuring local and visiting comedians.
  • Wednesday – “Forest Treasure” Toddler Visit
    A free sensory museum experience at Plateforme 10 for children (ages 0–5) with one adult, including a playful visit and workshop.
  • April 10–18 – Cully Jazz Festival
    A beloved annual favorite and one of the highlights of spring in the region, Cully Jazz Festival transforms the lakeside wine village into a vibrant music hub. The 2026 lineup includes artists like Fatoumata Diawara, Anouar Brahem, Theo Croker, ALA.NI, Mammal Hands, Tony Ann, Melody Gardot, and more, blending jazz with soul, world music, and experimental sounds. Beyond the main ticketed concerts (“Festival IN”), there’s also the Festival OFF — a huge part of its charm — offering dozens of free concerts in wine cellars, cafés, and small stages throughout the village, making it easy to just wander, discover new artists, and soak up the atmosphere.
  • Spring Exhibition – “Florama” at the Botanical Garden
    Explore the world of flowers through beautifully illustrated botanical plates. It’s a gentle, educational walk through the gardens — perfect for families, curious minds, or anyone wanting a calm outdoor moment between Easter festivities.
