This was our Summerfestival 2026

Five days long, we filled 11 locations with wonder, stories, circus, encounters and surprising moments. The summerfestival 2026 brought together 21 performances, 68 shows and a unique installation, alongside workshops, interactive storytelling sessions and so much more.

Behind all that magic were 82 artists, 79 staff members and 28 people from Circusplaneet. Together, they made every performance, every story and every moment truly special.

The most impressive number of all? 42,000 rounds of applause. 👏

Thank you to everyone who joined us, helped build it, performed, shared stories and enjoyed the experience. Relive the Zomerfestival 2026 in our aftermovie!

We’ll see you again next year, from Friday 16 July to Tuesday 20 July, in the heart of Ghent city centre!
