Summer is reaching a climax in terms of heat and long sunny days. It has been a glorious summer!
Another weekend, another festival. This weekend was the Corsier festival. Corsier is a charming village up the hill behind Vevey and it’s where Charlie Chaplin used to live. One of our favourite parks is Charlie Chaplin Park and this weekend this was where the festival was centred.
Starting on Friday night, the park was set up with a massive tent, fairy floss stall, bumper cars and other carnival fun fair caravans.
Live music until 4 am (yes, you read that right – when the Swiss party, they really let their hair down). Some smooth dance moves here.
Time for a costume change.
Catering to all ages, from the tiny tots (and this was between 9 and 10pm at night)
to the kids tent with fluro lights, DJ and dancing
and on to the teenagers who were congregated around the bumper cars with their chaotic fun and manic energy
With a full moon above, there was plenty of colour and carnival atmosphere.
With fairy floss to fuel you through the night, you too could win one of these soft toys if you burst more than 3 balloons with a bow and arrow (or BB gun if you were older)
