Cactusfestival brings three days of open-air concerts to Minnewaterpark (Lake of Love Park) in Bruges, Belgium, each early July, celebrating a wide, genre-crossing mix of Belgian and international artists. The setup is easy to love: one main stage where every act plays a full set, leafy picnic vibes, the foodie-packed Bazaar for snacks and local bites, and the lakeside Cactus Oasis for drinks and sunset downtime.
Start with a quick trip form. Weekend in Leuven or a Belgium route—we’ll plan ticket types & entry, the best train + shuttle setup, smart set-time strategy once the timetable drops, and a comfortable stay (hotel or The Hive camping).
