Bruges becomes the Mecca of European Jazz. Always<br />

flirting with adventurous and contemporary jazz, thereby<br />

striving for top quality, the Jazz Festival treats us to a<br />

carefully thought-out selection of some twenty European<br />

ensembles from all over the old continent over the period<br />

of four days. From Thursday, October 2, 2014 to Sunday,<br />

October 5, 2014; various venues in Bruges<br />

KLINKERS. Klinkers sets the tone for the Bruges summer!<br />

For two weeks, Bruges city centre forms the backdrop for<br />

musical and other fireworks. B<strong>EN</strong><strong>EN</strong>WERK – BALLROOM<br />

BRUGEOISE is the icing on the cake of the Bruges city<br />

festival Klinkers. Every year, this festive 14-day event is<br />

concluded in true style with a large, free dance party. With<br />

eleven indoor and outdoor stages, showing many types of<br />

dance music all over the historical city centre, Klinkers<br />

seeks to break the record of largest dance floor in<br />

Flanders. From Friday, July 25, 2014 to Saturday, August<br />

HOLY BLOOD PROCESSION. The Procession of the<br />

Holy Blood, which certainly dates back to 1304, is held<br />

every year on Ascension Day. Despite the changes that the<br />

procession has undergone throughout the centuries, the<br />

most profound spirituality prevails through the memory of<br />

the suffering of Jesus Christ. Following the Jubilee (2000)<br />

the procession has been renewed and updated. From<br />

Thursday, May 29, 2014 to Thursday, May 29, 2014;<br />

Basilica of St Basil, Burg Square, Markt Square and streets<br />

in the center of Bruges<br />

CACTUS FESTIVAL. Cactus is a festival on a human<br />

scale, in a relaxed atmosphere, which deliberately<br />

dissociates itself from the trends towards 'more' and<br />

'bigger'. You will not suffer any agonising dilemmas, as<br />

Cactus opts for one stage, which means the audience can<br />

watch the programme from start to finish. An atmospheric<br />

festival that manages to titillate the senses off-stage too,<br />

with fresh animation and appropriate decoration. A venue<br />

where reputed musicians, musical innovators of the future<br />

and a musically open-minded audience come together.<br />

From Friday, July 11, 2014 to Sunday, July 13, 2014 ;<br />
