🇸🇪 Know-it-all's WHAT TO DO in the area (4-10 May 2026)

MOTHER'S DAY SWITZERLAND
Sunday, 10 May 2026
This is your opportunity to spoil your mother or your childen's mother by making sure to give them a break from the usual daily duties! What better gift than a restaurant outing, a homemade meal, a handmade card, and the gift of quality time (maybe by themselves). A guilt-free nap, a candlelit bath, or watching their favorite chic-flic will score you points. Mother's day in France is on Sunday, 31 May 2026.

VILLAGE DU SOIR: EVERYBODY SING
Saturday, 9 May 2026
22h through 06h
Lancy, GE
Carrosserie, Rte des Jeunes 24, 1212 Lancy
The concept is simple: when the DJ cuts the music, it’s up to you to sing the choruses of the biggest hits from the ’80s, ’90s, 2000s, and 2010s. The songs we hummed as kids, the hits we played on our CD Walkmans, the tracks that rocked our MP3 players, the bangers we listen to on our speakers today: let’s shake the walls of La Carrosserie together to the beat of the melodies that defined those eras! Entry free before 23h. Click here for more information.

VILLAGE PLAYERS: BLITHE SPIRIT
7-9 May 2026
Lausanne, VD
The play concerns the novelist Charles Condomine, who invites the eccentric medium and clairvoyant Madame Arcati to his house to conduct a séance, hoping to gather material for his next book. The scheme backfires when he is haunted by the ghost of his willful and temperamental first wife, Elvira. She makes continual attempts to disrupt Charles's marriage to his second wife, Ruth, who cannot see or hear the ghost. Click here for more information.
