International Tattoo Bruges

A swirling musical spectacle of show & marching bands. A tattoo is, in the modern version, a musical show where the various show bands present themselves to the audience. A tattoo is a musical spectacle, built up of light, sound, and color. Of course, it is already nice to hear a corps play, but the audience is also visually oriented and wants to see music above all. That is why it must also be dressed up, preferably with many surprise effects. Some corps succeed in this in a stunning way. Naar Engels example, the tattoo has grown into a musical spectacle, in which the participating corps give the best of themselves. The finale can be considered the continuation of the original ceremonial tattoo. If the tattoo was originally a purely military affair, this is by no means the case nowadays. Its performance by civilian music corps has been increasing hand-over-hand in recent years. On Saturday, July 4, 2026, we again guarantee a brilliant evening with the absolute top show & marching bands from home & abroad. A 2.5-hour swirling musical spectacle on the most beautiful historical square in Europe, namely the Burg van Brugge. The location, the groups, and the cooperation of the Bruges carillon make this Taptoe Brugge unique in its kind. The largest outdoor Taptoe van Belgi welcomes you gladly!
