This is not your standard festival; during ManiFiesta, the world is exactly as it should be for two days. This large folk festival not only features music but also serves up fascinating authors, intriguing debates, engaged films, slam poetry, and stand-up comedy. And yes, there is also music. Van Noordkaap, Jazz Brak, Balkan Paradise Orchestra, Médine, and Kaat Van Stralen. Ambiance poured with a sauce of activism.
