Lake Geneva region, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – September is traditionally busy in terms of events in the region, and 2008 has turned out to be a good year for organizers despite the cool, rainy weather.

The Comptoir Suisse in Lausanne closed its doors Sunday after 142,000 people went through during its 10 days. In Neuchatel, the grape harvest festival, which refers to itself as a giant party that uses the harvest as a pretext, 26-28 September, pulled in 200,000 people, reports Le Matin (Fre).
