The popular beer festival in Poperinge will take place on October 26-27. This event marks its 27th anniversary and will gather beer enthusiasts from various countries around the world. Visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy a wide variety of drinks from several dozen breweries, including unique brews available exclusively at this festival. In addition to beer, guests will find delicious food and enjoy performances by local music groups.

The festival will run from 2:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., and entry will be free. For an additional fee, attendees can purchase a starter pack, which includes a festival glass and tasting tokens. The event will be held in a specially arranged space featuring wooden floors and expanded terraces, creating the cozy ambiance of a beer village. The festival promises to deliver a delightful experience and the chance to savor some of the finest local brews.

The lively atmosphere of cultural celebrations in Belgium doesn’t end with Poperinge's beer festival—art lovers also have something exciting to experience. Beaufort 24, the Triennial of Contemporary Art by the Sea, began in spring and will run until November 3. Visitors can explore works by renowned artists from various countries, as well as local creators. The event focuses on making art accessible and expands the permanent sculpture park with new pieces that will remain on display after the festival ends.

This art project takes place alongside another major cultural event, the Bruges Triennial, with overlapping exhibitions in certain locations, offering joint displays for visitors. In addition to contemporary art, guests along the coast can enjoy local attractions and relax in one of the eco-friendly hotels, supporting sustainable tourism. The triennial will continue for a few more weeks, giving everyone the chance to visit before it concludes.

Together, these events showcase the rich cultural diversity of Belgium, blending festive traditions with artistic innovation. Whether tasting exclusive beers at the festival in Poperinge or exploring contemporary art installations along the coast, visitors are invited to immerse themselves in a unique experience. As deep autumn approaches, these celebrations offer a wonderful opportunity to enjoy both the vibrant flavors and creative spirit of the region before the season comes to an end.
