There is always plenty going on in Geneva. The numerous theatres, concert hall, cinemas and museums offer a broad cultural spectrum to the inhabitants. With the F tes de Gen ve and many other festivals, both international and purely local, all ages are catered for, and during the summer many events take place outdoors in beautiful settings, such as the Garden Theatre and the Parc de l'Orangerie. Grains and vegetables are the main crops, and the canton produces excellent local wines.
Geneva has a long tradition of printing and watchmaking trades.
But to meet the new demands of the modern world, the local industry has had to diversify.
