What in the world is the Lake Parade in Geneva Switzerland? What does it celebrate?
I'm doing a bit of research on Geneva and I have come across an extremely weird and perverse festive that I can’t believe is allowed to exist called the Lake parade which happens each year. It breaks my heart the holy city on a hill has been reduced to Sodom and Gomorrah but it should be expected in Europe today. I was wondering if anyone knew what exactly this festival is and what it means and additionally it would be great if anyone could enlighten me as to the state of morality and culture today in the city of Geneva. As well as the current influence of the Church. Thank you.
it's a great big rave in the centre of Geneva and by the lake, with tens of thousands of people having a great time.
At midnight they burn an effigy of Calvin and everyone fornicates till dawn.
Fantastic.

Started more than 50 yrs ago by businesses and the city to attract visitor during the month of July.
Fireworks and parade was always the big thing. Maybe today it is more carnavalresque.
Nothing to do with religion or politique.
