Maquis Dékalé Geneva is a 13-day electronic, dance, world music festival at Genève, Switzerland in Genève, Switzerland. The November 2026 edition runs 17–29 Nov 2026. It draws around 10,000 people.
Expect stages split between electronic, dance and world music.
At around 10,000 attendees it stays on the intimate side, which usually means shorter bar queues and a crowd that is there for the music rather than the spectacle. Everything happens at Genève, Switzerland, in Genève. Genève · 0 km · about 10 min is the organiser's practical nearby base for accommodation and transfers to the festival site.
Maquis Dékalé Geneva keeps the same calendar slot each year: November 2026 for this edition, opening on a Tuesday and closing on a Sunday. It falls in autumn, after the summer circuit closes, when flights and rooms come back down in price. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Genève are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.
- Multiple stages showcasing various artists
- Emphasis on African music and culture

- 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Maquis Dékalé Geneva are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
- 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
- 3Reserve 14 nights rather than 13: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
- 4If you fly into Genève Airport, check the transfer time to Genève before booking the earliest departure — the airport bus is usually the cheapest leg of the whole trip.
- 5Follow Maquis Dékalé Geneva on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.
