General
Where is Gula Gula located?
The festival will take place at the Ruiterijcomplex in Vilvoorde, a castle embraced by the lush Drie Fonteinen domain — 50 hectares of greenery that seamlessly fuse nature and human imagination. Together, the castle and its park form an enchanting setting, the perfect canvas for experimentation.
On Saturday, the festival unfolds exclusively within the castle and its courtyard, while on Sunday it expands into the park.
What are the dates and opening hours?
- Saturday 22 August
- Sunday 23 August
The opening hours will be announced at a later date.
Is there a minimum age to enter the festival?
No, all ages are welcome! Especially our Sunday program keeps both the youngest and older visitors in mind. We invite all generations to come and experience the festival in their own way — hopefully with a touch of wonder.
Practical
Will there be food and drinks?
Yes, there will be local food partners offering a wide variety of quality food and drink options.
Is the festival wheelchair friendly?
We are doing our best to make the festival accessible to all, but cannot guarantee that moving around in a wheelchair will be easy. The courtyard has cobblestones for example, but there won't be any stairs to reach any stages.
Will there be lockers on the festival?
The festival will not offer lockers or a cloakroom.
