Sunday concerts by Roman Columns in Nyon Throughout the summer months there are Sunday concerts that take place from 11:00-13:30 by the Roman columns. Country, reggae and other music is on the line up this year. These free concerts are organised by the Association Places des Maronniers. There will be a buvette in place by the columns to purchase drinks and snacks. This Sunday the 13th July, Geneva band (Reggae, Ska, Dub) Rootstudy will be playing to the public.
