After a two day trip to Gent we found out that we'd arrived just in time for the Flanders Music Festival which started the next day. There were 16 music venues in the city throughout the day with a great variety of music, both classical and modern. I felt I was being seranaded by this musician in his boat who went round and round in circles just below me. Great fun.
One of the many musical performances on the river.
In the evening, the opening night of the festival, there was a continuous performance with orchestras and choirs playing on a large stage built on the water in the centre of the city. The light show with it was amazing.
Concert and light show.
The finale of the evening was a fantastic firework display which lit up the whole city with all its beautiful buildings and façades. We were so lucky to be in Gent on this particular day.
The fireworks were spectacular.
