More than 165 chalets, a roller skating rink, the Ferris wheel, scoring presents and a hospitable catering industry, in short, the Ghent winter will be more atmospheric than ever. In addition, they boast the largest mobile roller skating rink in the country, good for 400m² of roller skating fun. The Ghent Winter Festivities will end on December 31, 2022.

For more than three weeks, Ghent is doing everything it can to make it a cozy, wintery experience for young and old. The indoor ski bar 'Chez Babette' will be built on the Emile Braunplein. Families and families will also find entertainment thanks to, among other things, a 'Christmas tree' merry-go-round and other children's entertainment.

This year you will find a roller skating rink of no less than 400 m² under the city hall, which is also the largest mobile open-air roller skating rink in Belgium. By opting for a roller skating rink, they save almost 24.000 kWh of electricity annually, and we make the Ghent Winter Festivities a lot more sustainable in one fell swoop.

You can go there every day until December 31. On weekdays the Winterfest opens at noon and stays open until midnight, on Friday until 12am. The party lasts from 1 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday, and from 1 a.m. to midnight on Sunday.
