The Ghent Festivities have no equal. This unique and wonderfully eccentric event is one of Europe’s largest city festivals, and a popular people's event that brings Ghent to life every summer. For ten days, the historic city centre and its centuries-old heritage become the stage for a vibrant cultural spectacle.
Across countless stages (many outdoors), you can enjoy live music, street theatre, parades, children’s entertainment, funfairs, and much more. And if you can’t get enough, don’t worry! The celebrations continue well into the early hours every day. Anyone lucky enough to stumble upon this remarkable festival will leave with unforgettable memories.
