ZONA FRANCA is an unaligned oasis where to imagine the world from scratch. A neutral space where everything is still possible: drinks, music, conversation, and glances that pierce reality. A pop-up bar by La Soleggiata, with music by Raclette. Because partying, and not just that, is good, but together it’s better. While outside crowds of fools are throwing missiles, we want to throw flowers! Will you join us?

La Soleggiata is a traveling pop-up bar born in Ticino that promotes local products and creates temporary meeting places in evocative locations. Spaces where you can enjoy a good drink, relax, and meet people, creating a lively community focused on conviviality and sustainability.

Raclette is a festival curated by Foce that offers a diverse program dedicated to good music. A glimpse into the world of the most interesting Swiss and international musical acts on the contemporary scene.

La Soleggiata, Raclette, and FIT have joined forces to launch the first edition of ZONA FRANCA!!!
