Exhibition
For the 25^th anniversary pictures of the last festival editions will be shown in the St. Laurent Gallery during the festival.

This information is provisional. The detailed programme with exact times and locations will be posted just before the festival. Print versions will be available at the festival office.

Large audience, small venue: some events may sell out quickly. We appreciate your understanding if we must limit audience size for security reasons. Several choices are offered during most event times.

Festival tents
For the first time, we set up two tents in Leukerbad. On the the meadow next to the Old Bath St. Laurent will be the “James Baldwin Tent” and another tent on the village square. This will allow us to react flexibly to hygiene requirements and the weather.

Pablo’s Lounge
The oldest and most traditional festival bar is moving to Le Bristol. Poetic drinks are served from Thursday to Saturday, on Saturday from 23:30 with DJ Mifume. Further festival bars in the Hotel Les Sources des Alpes and in the Baldwin tent.
