festival    CITADELIC FESTIVAL 2023 #16 . adventure in music at the park



From wednesday May 24 mei until monday May 29, Citadelic Festival, the 16th edition chockabloc adventurous music with a focus on jazz and improvisation for young and old is back at the Citadelpark in Ghent. The offerings are eclectic, the atmosphere still very low key.
Classical, avant-garde, indie, contemporary, or experimental, the program is so versatile that everyone should find something to their liking.

Originality, the underbelly of society, developing one's own voice and embarking on a musical quest is what has made jazz a global art form.
No less than 6 days on a musical rollercoaster, that's what we envision, with more than 25 concerts. In addition to fascinating music, you can continuously enjoy a summer snack and a fresh drink, offered by El Negocito.
