highlights in 2024
Bruges Triennial 2024
Every three years the Bruges Triennial brings contemporary art and architecture to the historic city centre of Bruges: a unique setting and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In each edition, the artistic team invites national and international artists and architects to submit new temporary installations. For visitors, it is a free exploration, following a unique and inviting trail with a social aspect.
For this fourth edition, the Bruges Triennial will explore the city's hidden possibilities with the theme of 'Spaces of Possibility'. How can a UNESCO-protected historic city, where non-building is central, cope with change? And how can contemporary art and architecture be a catalyst for this sustainable change?
Between 13 April and 1 September, get to know the temporary new interpretations that twelve artists and architects from around the world are giving to un(der)used or little-known locations in the city.
Useful to know: on 19/06, 10/07 and 14/08, the installations will also be open in the evening during a Bruges Triennial nocturne. You can then visit the installations until 9.00 p.m.

Cactusfestival 2024
Bruges is getting ready for the arrival of international heroes such as The War On Drugs, Patti Smith, Brittany Howard, Cat Power and many others. The Belgians are also well represented at this fine festival in the enchanting Minnewater Park: Brihang, among others, has already confirmed his arrival and many more fine home-grown names will follow. They will be there playing full concert sets on the same stage. So no heartbreaking dilemmas at Cactusfestival. During the breaks, you can satisfy your hunger at the Bazaar, a food market with a wide range of delicacies from all corners of the world, ranging from Italian to Vietnamese to Mexican. Need to relax? That's possible at Cactus Oasis. Enjoy a drink on the banks of the Minnewater, while the kids romp around on the installations of Bolwerk. Or rather stretch your (dance) legs? In the evening, the Oasis is transformed into the party place to be, where our turntables fire up the funkiest dance hits. Keep that summer coming!
The 41st Cactus Festival on 12, 13 and 14 July 2024 in Bruges' Minnewater Park. Full programme and more info at www.cactusfestival.be.
