Annecy Lake Festival — Saturday, August 1, 2026: “The Soul of the World” by ARTEVENTIA
The Annecy Lake Festival returns this summer for its 2026 edition, featuring an exceptional pyrotechnic show designed by ARTEVENTIA. This major summer event in Haute-Savoie will be held on Saturday, August 1, 2026, on the shores of Lake Annecy, in Albigny Bay and around the Pâquier, from approximately 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM.

The City of Annecy has once again entrusted ARTEVENTIA with the artistic creation of this emblematic evening, entitled “The Soul of the World”, a 70-minute immersive show where music becomes the narrative thread.
At the heart of this creation, classical music, original soundtracks, orchestral compositions, and folk songs blend to offer a poetic and universal journey, guided by the voice of Maïka Darah, inviting a sensitive voyage through the emotions and bonds that unite human beings.

As every year, the show will combine pyrotechnics, lighting, water jets, and new visual devices, including pyrotechnic drones and brand-new floating elements on the lake, to deliver a complete and unforgettable sensory experience.
The Lake Festival is one of the most anticipated summer events in Europe, attracting several hundred thousand spectators around the lake for an evening of music, color, light, and emotion.
