Monterey Gent is the name of the cultural platform with summer bar at the old
music kiosk in Citadelpark in Ghent. In summer, this historic location is
transformed into a unique platform for both up-and-coming artistic talent and
well-established names. In addition to a fixed weekly musical offer, the
programme also includes stand-up comedy, lectures, theatre, film, yoga and
numerous other activities.
The name Monterey refers in the first place to the history of Citadelpark, which
featured a fort called “de Monterey” long before the former citadel existed.
The summer bar across from the kiosk is the ideal place to relax in the city
centre, and to enjoy a delicious drink and the many activities organised in the
kiosk. All activities at Monterey are free of charge. This way we hope to
attract local residents, Ghent citizens and other visitors to discover and enjoy
the park again.
