Discover how you can spend your afternoons at Upside Down Festival!
We have 3 days of Jazz Cafe and Upside Down Shakes, one day of Cozy @ Home, and plenty of Pick ‘n’ Mix activities for you.
Read more about the afternoon activities below. The full Festival program can be found here.
It’s all about hanging out with old friends and making new ones while catching nice food and drinks, enjoying some peaceful coziness and of course live and DJ jazz.
The Jazz Cafe will offer you a variety of interesting areas: to chat, to listen to music, to enjoy our carefully selected Jazz Library and many more curious things. Bring your kids! A fun corner will be waiting for them as well.
The detailed program for the Jazz Café will come in November.
The shakes were a 2022 highlight (have a sneak peek in the video) and we are upgrading this moment. We will happily ‘shake’ you Upside Down experience in these super inspiring sessions where we want ALL participants and crew of Upside Down to gather for a drink, snack, and ideas worth spreading.
In these three sessions, we will use different methodologies and group interactions to touch on different topics such as community, our relationship to the Black African American roots of the dance, sustainability & social themes. We’ll also honor the elders present at Upside Down Festival, insert some absurd fun and share updates on the festival it self. Some of you maybe would compare this with the ‘meeting’ at another famous festival.
We created an exquisite Pick ‘n’ Mix menu of over 35 mind-blowing activities for all tastes and shapes, to spice up your festival experience. These delicious activities are grouped according different topics from which you can mix your most refined cocktail.
You can choose between 1 and 10 hours of Pick ‘n’ Mix during registration, depending on your energy or budget. A detailed schedule will be ready closer to the beginning of the festival and you will choose which activities to join on the spot.
We like ‘gezelligheid’. It’s hard to translate, but the the closest word in English would be ‘coziness’. For one afternoon a dozen Ghentians open their living rooms. Different activities will be going on. At the festival, you have the ability to choose one living room to hang out at during this cozy afternoon.
More info coming in November.
