Sint-Baafsplein9000 Gent

This event is over.

Float in one of the huge Christmas balls in the 'Sapin Magique' or in a flying sleigh on the carrousel at St Bavo's Cathedral. Fly over the city of Ghent with the "Grand Soleil" Ferris wheel and feel like a giant. Show off your skills on the ice rink. Do you get hungry and thirsty from playing, singing and jumping around? Go and get some hot chocolate or a pancake at one of the many Christmas booths.

Did you know that Santa will pay us a visit and bring along all sorts of magical creatures, reindeer and polar bears? So be sure to keep your eyes open and who knows, maybe you can take a picture with them. If you really can't get enough of the Ghent Winter Festivities, you can go to the Winter Wonderland Castle.

Winter in Ghent

If you are a fan of winter conviviality, be sure to visit Ghent in December. During this period, the historical city centre, from St.-Baafsplein square to St.-Veerleplein square, is converted into a winter landscape. Discover Ghent in winter and enjoy the warm Christmas atmosphere!
