Saturday party at Tropical - 50 m after Geneva plage (?)

Hi all, someone told me about this (free) party. Is anyone going/ willing to go/ know something more?


I'm pretty new in town and ..ehm..I haven't been to the beach yet as well =P (however, at least, I know where it is)


Ciao! xx

Hey Laura,


 


You should make an event, with a few more details. Could be interesting, especially with this good weather. I'm planning a few beers in GVA saturday so depending on time and alcohol intake, I might be inclined! Foot in mouth

The party you're talking about happened last night, and the next one on the same beach is this Saturday (July 7).


The parties take place at the Wake Sport Center / Tropical Corner beach, right next to Geneve Plage. There's always some confusion about them, cos that beach is operated by 2 different bodies: Tropical, and Wake Sport Center. Each of these bodies does 2 beach parties there each year (the CIty of Geneve doesn't allow more, as that will mean too much fun), and each of these bodies refers to the beach as either "Tropical" or "Wake Sport Center". It's the same place, but different parties. 


The 2 parties that the Wake Sport Center do each year are together with Sindy, the sister site of glocals.com. So where these parties happen, you'll hear of them via our newsletter. The next one is this Saturday (July 7).


What Tropical does their parties, you'll hear of it via the FB link that Stef shared.

Thanks for the info Nir!


I take this opportunity to ask you if it would be possible for the next parties to include wine by the glass (not only by bottle), or/and mojito and other cocktails with diet coke or anything that is not way too rich in calories  Cool


With the lack of choice, people end up drinking beer (0.5l) all night and the toilets situation is VERY crowded at the wakeboard center...

Hey Grolle,


Fully understand what you saying bro. I'll suggest this to the beach owner (who managed the bars), but can't promise the outcome.


The current drink menu at the beach parties is focused on the best selling drinks only. The reason is simple: to allow fast service. In previous years we had an elaborate menu. But when the party gets going the pressure on the bar is crazy, often with a line 5-deep, so an alborate menu led to 15 min of wait. With the focused menu we cut the wait to 3 minutes, while still giving 85% of our guests the exact drink they wanted.


I hear you tho, and will push to add a few more things into the menu. Can't promise the result tho...

Thanks for the reply Nir.


In this case, I guess the fastest for their service is to just add diet coke beside the regular one (for the cuba libre)

Hey all,


Yup, the party is tomorrow. We just spoke with Meteo-Suisse and they say it's going to be great weather tomorrow, but some chance of rain. We're crossing our fingers...
