The story

Festival Images Vevey in Vevey

Festival Images Vevey turns the lakeside town into a free open-air photography exhibition every other September, hanging oversized prints along the promenade, on building facades and inside historic venues. The biennial draws international photographers and photo-based artists, mixing free outdoor installations with a smaller program of ticketed shows and talks. Compact and walkable, Vevey rewards an unhurried one or two-day visit timed to the biennial's odd-year September dates.

Festival Images Vevey turns the town's public spaces into an open-air photography exhibition, hanging large-format prints on building facades, along the lakeside promenade and inside historic sites rather than confining the work to gallery walls.
