Swiss music festival
Wolfmother performing on the main stage of Caribana in 2011The Caribana Festival in Crans-près-Céligny , Vaud , Switzerland started in 1990 as an opportunity for people in Switzerland to enjoy live music at the shores of Lake Léman . The event has grown over the years and changed from a free, small, local festival to an international event with 19,500 visitors in 2005.
Caribana lasts for four days (Thursday to Sunday) and offers a variety of artists. It is not, as its name suggests, an event devoted to Caribbean music .
