Bô Noël will once again organize a “silent party” on December 31. One of the flagship events of the Lausanne end-of-year holiday market was canceled last year following concessions imposed by the Municipality.
Under pressure from the city’s restaurateurs, accusing Bô Noël of unfair competition, the Lausanne authorities imposed certain restrictions in 2023. In addition to the elimination of the New Year’s Eve disco, the number of bars and opening hours had been reduced.
This year, however, as Bô Noël begins its 10th edition on November 20, the “silent party” is once again on the program, Florian Schmied, director of Bô Noël, revealed Friday, confirming 24-hour information to Keystone-ATS.
He indicates that discussions took place with the City of Lausanne, but without revealing their content. He refers to the press releases which will be sent by the end of the month by the Municipality and Bô Noël.
In the meantime, the event’s website already mentions that the “silent party”, which generally attracted around 3,000 people, will no longer take place in the city center on the Place des Pionnières, but on the Plateforme 10 esplanade next door. from the station.
A compromise also seems to have been found to extend certain hours. Between December 26 and 30, for example, bars and food stalls will be able to stay open until 9 p.m., compared to 8 p.m. last year.
During its previous edition, Bô Noël Lausanne attracted around 360,000 visitors, compared to 420,000 in 2022.
