The unforgettable moments when the Ghent canals are flooded with boats and music? Yes, OdeGand is back! And this year, it’s going completely XL. Book your ticket for a series of concerts with En Route!, and choose between music from the Andes, African Gnawa, Mediterranean folk tales, and much more. Outdoors, you can enjoy pop-up concerts and unexpected encounters all afternoon around Sint-Baafsplein. Under the City Pavilion, you'll find a grand Symphonic Mob of hundreds of amateur musicians together with the Flanders Symphony Orchestra and De Centrale! Additionally, De Centrale is one of the concert locations where several routes pass by, specifically the VUUR (FIRE), TURQOOIS (TURQUOISE) and ZAND (SAND)routes.
