The Reiefestival is a new arts festival that connects heritage and history with contemporary performing arts. The festival takes place at various open-air locations on and around the canals of Bruges and will run over three days in August 2023. It focuses on new creations.

Every edition the festival will work with a certain theme. For 2023 the theme is ‘Faith’. Faith in this matter does not only refer to the different world religions but also to personal forms of faith, to conviction and to forms of superstition who are deeply rooted in our daily life.

The Reiefestival is an initiative of Brugge Plus, in cooperation with Concertgebouw Brugge and KAAP, with the support of the city of Bruges.
