Cactusfestival

Location: Minnewaterpark, Brugge.

CACTUSFESTIVAL is a colourful festival, with a refreshing view on modern musical culture; enclosed in a cosy atmosphere and with a surprising program.

The Minnewaterpark ("Lake of Love"- park) in Brugge is the unique spot where this three-days lasting musical happening takes place.

CACTUSFESTIVAL guarantees a different atmosphere and philosophy.

The festival intends to stay a "human sized" musical happening, with a limited number of bands, which all play full concerts and which are presented in a unique global atmosphere.

CACTUSFESTIVAL keeps on looking for new discoveries and combines these with artists with an established international reputation. Year after year a wide variety of musical genres is presented; a "global" presentation card of what the worldwide music scene has to offer, in all it's diversity.
