Polé Polé Festival - Gentse Feesten 2025

Ghent

Since 2004, we've been heating up the nights along the Graslei and Korenlei. Polé Polé has become a true staple of the Gentse Feesten. In 2024, we celebrated our 20th anniversary – and we’re back in full force for 2025!

Latin, Afro, and global rhythms, tropical cocktails flowing – that’s all you need for instant holiday vibes. With bars and terraces on both sides of the water, plus floating pontoons, there’s plenty of space to soak up the atmosphere.

Polé Polé during the Gentse Feesten isn’t just a festival – it’s a tradition. A tropical experience in the heart of Ghent. La fiësta total!

Practical

During the Gentse Feesten, the Polé Polé square on the Graslei and Korenlei is easy to reach, although it's good to know that it can be busier than usual during this time. The square is located in the heart of the historic center of Ghent, making it an ideal stop while exploring the city.

The easiest way to get there is to travel by public transportation to Gent-Sint-Pieters station and from there take the streetcar or bus to the edge of the party zone. The routes of the line are slightly modified during the Ghent Festivities. More info on this can be found at: https://www.delijn.be/nl/

If you prefer to explore the city on foot, you can walk from Kouter or Sint-Baafsplein to the square. It's a short and pleasant walk through the old city center. Once you arrive, you'll be welcomed by the festive atmosphere, live music, and the lively terraces that characterize the square during the Gentse Feesten.

Do keep in mind that it can be quite crowded during the festival, so it might be a good idea to allow some extra time to navigate through the crowds and festivities!
