De Fonnefeesten zijn inmiddels een begrip geworden. In 2013 mochten ze uit
handen van het stadsbestuur de prijs van “Meest verdienstelijke Lokeraar” in
ontvangst nemen. In 2015, gedreven door bouwplannen op de Vismijn en het feit
dat de Polifonics ermee ophielden, werd besloten te verhuizen naar het Prinses
Josephine Charlottepark. Deze verhuis een succes noemen zou een understatement
zijn. De nieuwe locatie bleek zowaar nog gezelliger. Ze gaf de organisatie een
nieuwe boost en van daaruit een extra dimensie aan het concept. Het aantal
bezoekers nam nog toe en de commentaren waren laaiend en unaniem enthousiast.
19 tot 28 juli. aftellen naar de volgende editie. Gentse Feesten 2024 19 tot 28

Louis Bys and Pierre Destrée built the organ between 1653 and 1655. It bears the
coat of arms of bishop Triest, who gifted the organ to the cathedral.

A lot of squares, streets and parks in the Ghent city centre host a variety of
performances during the Ghent Festivities. Well-known national artists as well
as simple street performers, everyone gets a chance to perform their act. These
locations are the places to be if you want to breathe in the atmosphere of the
Ghent Festivities.
You can only go up the tower of St Bavo’s Cathedral during the Ghent
Festivities. Negotiate the stairs and enjoy the magnificent view of this unique
party for the people in the heart of Ghent. At other times of the year, you can
enjoy the most beautiful view of Ghent from directly beneath the golden dragon,
Ghent’s mascot, on the Belfry tower

there you can continue exploring the heart of Ghent. Anything goes.
Everything comes to an end, and then it’s clean-up time. After ten days of
revelry, the municipal sanitation department pulls out all the stops to restore
Ghent to its usual spic-and-span state. This takes approximately 3 days, so you
should take this into account if you visit Ghent just after the Festivities
week.
