As of this year we have introduced day-passes: which are valid for one reading as for the whole day (please see this as an invitation to follow more readings, as this way, we’re convinced, you will enjoy the festival at its utmost!) To ensure a level of quality and atmosphere also between the readings, from this year the barBabel will be managed by Babel. All income will go towards helping to support the festival.

Friday18: The Makine-Pusterla reading is free of charge. It will be followed by an opening buffet at barBabel, in collaboration with the Scuola superiore alberghiera e del turismo di Bellinzona (early booking recommended to avoid dissapointment: between July 10th and September 10th, +41 (0)79 562 06 16).

Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th: day pass: Fr. 20.-, Euro 13

Friend of Babel pass: Fr. 100.-, Euro 70 (this includes a 2 days pass and a ticket for the concert, an object designed for Babel by Karim Forlin and membership of the Babel Association for one year).
