History of the Event

The American International Club of Geneva will commemorate the US National Day with our annual July 4th Celebration, which will take place on the actual date starting at 6:00pm at Grand Saconnex's Place de Fête de la Champagne du Château.

The AIC has a long history of celebrating July 4th dating back to 1962. Ever since then, July 4th has become an fixture in the Club's calendar as it represents one of the two major American holidays, along with Thanksgiving, that we celebrate annually as AIC signature events.

July 4th also represents the AIC's most popular activity as we typically have over 300 attendees who enjoy this family-friendly gathering in a relaxed outdoor setting. Participants include members and their families along with members of the American International Women's Club, American Citizens Abroad, the US Mission, as well as current and retired US military to join the AIC in celebrating the American Independence Day.

The program will commence with a rendition of the US National Anthem. Festivities will feature an array of fun activities for people of all ages, including the Annual Great American Cookie Bake Off, children's games such as bouncy castles and pony rides, food trucks, the Bacardi Bar with Fanan, AIC-Youth Underground T-Shirts and dancing with a live band.

We hope that you can join us at the AIC July 4th Celebration!
