Cactus Festival is an established multi-genre music and arts festival held annually in the Minnewaterpark in Bruges. Founded in 1984 by a group of students, it initially focused on alternative and independent music. Over the decades, Cactus has broadened its scope to include a diverse range of musical acts encompassing indie rock, world music, electronic music, jazz and more. It’s known for its relatively intimate setting within the parkland and commitment to showcasing both established artists and emerging talent. The festival also features theatre, film screenings and art installations alongside its musical program. It typically draws a large crowd composed of both local residents and international visitors.
