One of the 9 main stages
Just imagine taking an outdoor music festival and diversifying the music to include everything you can think of: electronic, pop, reggae, classical, folk, country and western and so on - a mix for young, old and those who think they are still young, and then spreading this across the city. No cars, no buses.
But that's not it.
Small street acts such as mime, breakers, buskers and so on are everywhere. There's the drinking and the eating, and more drinking. One of the stages is also set up as a family zone.
About 2 million visitors attend the festival every year, making it one of the biggest cultural and popular festivals in Europe.
The Gentse Feesten was deemed the third biggest city festival in Europe, only preceded by the Fallas in Valencia and the Oktoberfest in Munich.
Oh, and it's all free.
