(Switzerland)- Around 35,000 people flock at Geneva's Centre Sportif du Bout du Monde to celebrate the biggest outdoor 4th of July party outside the USA. This open-air American Independence party sponsored by the American International Club (AIC) of Geneva attracts people from over the French border as well as Swiss from surrounding regions. Drinks, music, fireworks, entertainment and attractions make it a great family outing. The first 4th of July celebration organized by the AIC in Geneva took place in 1952. The program included a little music, some dancing, one carousel, refreshments and a short firework display. Over the years, this family outing has become one of Geneva's biggest and most popular events and attendance has increased annually.XXX
