July 11th celebration | Reception and performance

Following ‘Vlaanderen Feest!’, Aartselaar is once again organizing a cozy festive evening at the beautiful Cleydael Castle. The event is entirely dedicated to togetherness, meeting, and local talent. The evening starts at 7:00 PM with a welcome speech by Mayor Sophie De Wit (N-VA), followed by a joint sing-along of the Vlaamse Leeuw. At 7:15 PM, the group ‘Degte’ will provide the musical atmosphere. Danny, Bart, and Luc — better known as Arnout, Bard, and Luca — are local talent from our own soil and will bring a performance that perfectly fits the warm character of Vlaanderen Feest. From 8:00 PM, visitors can chat during a reception in the atmospheric setting of Cleydael Castle. The organization hopes to bring many residents together again for a relaxed and connecting summer evening.
