A dozen or so stages on the different squares in the inner with (free!) music, streets filled with crowds and (free!) street theatre as well as street-animation-for-spare-change, and a lot of jenever and beer. (Not free though – the expression “free as in beer” does not really apply here.) Don’t let the link http://www.belgischebieren.be/ fool you – it only lists a small portion of the Belgian beers. The site http://www.belgian-beer.net/ is a bit more complete. Festivities end on Monday 23 July – or, to be more accurate, Tuesday morning 24 July.

It's not that far from Brussels and very easy to travel to by train. Visit http://www.gentsefeesten.be/ around June to see what you can do. Basically it's the core of the city of Ghent transformed into a place full of festivities, musical entertainment and a lot of great Belgian Beer (if you want a great night out, this is it). If you don't know which beer to order here's a list: http://www.belgischebieren.be/ 22nd of July is a great day to visit the ‘Gentse Feesten’.
