Trefpunt Festival
Trefpunt Festival is the soul, the core and the biggest organizer during the Ghent Festivities, the huge 10 day city festival in Ghent.
Trefpunt started the Ghent Festivities in 1970 under the hippie impulse of sculptor, singer and 'enfant terrible' Walter De Buck. It grew out to be one of the biggest city festivals in Europe, with over 1.7 million visitors in 10 days in 2024.
Trefpunt hosts the central stage at St. Jacobs church (5000 people), and 5 stages in the Baudelo park with music varying from folk to jazz, pop to hiphop, rock to worldmusic. With over 300 activities in 10 days and a big emphasis on artistic quality, diversity and a progressive approach towards society and the powers that be, Trefpunt is the soul of a rebellious city of music.
Trefpunt is mainly active in music. During the festival also circus and streettheatre, dance and workshops, debates about society and culture are organized. Throughout the year Trefpunt runs an visual arts gallery as well (called Bar Edward).
Trefpunt is also leading partner of the Sounds Of Europe project, a collaboration between 13 European festivals supported by Creative Europe.
