Hasselt Jenever Festival 2023, Belgium

October 21


Free
Hasselt Jenever Festival

The third weekend in October sees the Flemish city of Hasselt spring to life for its jenever festival. In 2023, the Hasselt Jenever Festival will be on 21 and 22 October.

Tradition has it that the ‘Borrel Man’, a fountain in the middle of the city, changes water into jenever (gin) on the Saturday, so expect plenty of flowing libations. The following day will see a competition for the traditional waiter.

Take part in the Jenever walk or ride on the Jenever train. There will be music in the streets, and a great atmosphere.

This really is an incredible festival that promises to turn the city of Hasselt on its head. Just make sure that your head doesn’t feel too sore the morning after, so drink plenty of water.
