ZONDAG VOSDAG

FESTIVAL WITH MUSIC, BOOKS AND FRESH FRIES

When Luc De Vos from Ghent died in November 2014, there was no street or square with his name, let alone a statue with his effigy. He would never have wanted that.

With Zondag Vosdag it refers now a festival after him, and Vos would most likely have enjoyed that. From this second edition onwards, his insatiable hunger for fresh literature, music, comedy and dance will be the guiding principle. Add fresh fries with stew and a strong pint and the evening can't go wrong.

WHAT AND WHERE?

Musician Johannes Verschaeve (The Van Jets) and author Christophe Vekeman have put together a fascinating and surprising program for which Vos is the first to create a would have an access card bought.

This Vossian version of The Nights or Crossing Border place on six stages around the Kouter, both in the Handelsbeurs, Opera Ghent and Troje Horse.

• 1 ticket = 4 stages in the Opera and Handelsbeurs
• The Kouter square is free to enter. You can enjoy delicious fries and stew (served by Keizershof). The Royal Fanfare Sint-Cecilia Zarren-Werken plays at the Kiosk.
• In the Paard van Troje bookstore you can go to book signings of authors (free admission).
