Welcome to the website of Balhalla Festival, the brand-new winter balfolk festival in the old industrial heart of Ghent.
The very first edition of Balhalla Festival is behind us – and what a celebration it was!
For three days, we enjoyed:
a 400 m² dance floor with space for no less than 400 dancers
a cozy jam space for musicians
inspiring music and dance workshops
an open stage full of surprising talents
the best of the Belgian folk music scene, with some international top acts as the cherry on top
a festival that was fully wheelchair accessible
A huge thank you to everyone who was there – dancers, musicians, volunteers, and all enthusiastic festivalgoers. You brought Balhalla to life!
What does the future hold?
We are already dreaming of what’s next… A second edition hasn’t been announced yet, but we’ll keep you posted. More info coming soon!
Hopefully, see you soon on the dance floor!
