“123-piano” is a musical project which brings people together through live music and generates spontaneous reactions. With the motto “The sky is the limit”, various artists were each allocated a piano and its location. This ensures that these locations really catch the eye of people passing at random. The mobile location is the 123-take-away-piano: on Sunday evenings, two go-carts with an upright piano will travel from door to door in four suburbs of Ghent. The pianos are available to all and anyone can use them. Are you driving to Ghent? First check whether you may enter the city centre with your vehicle.

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.
De Lokerse Feesten 2024 gaan door van vrijdag 2 augustus tot en met zondag 11 augustus 2024. Blokkeer de periode alvast in je agenda. Meer info volgt binnenkort via www.lokersefeesten.be. ❤️
