For 20 years, “In the Streets,” the world music festival within the Festival, has made it possible for you to enjoy strolling through the picturesque alleys and narrow streets of Lucerne’s Old Town and hear the whole world making music. Groups from around the globe convene in Lucerne for a whole week to perform a variety of open-air concerts, creating a colorful kaleidoscope of sounds and rhythms. This anniversary year brings a reunion with some old friends along with many new discoveries.
