Ghent Festivities
Walter De Buck and Trefpunt renewed the free city festival Gentse Feesten in 1970 by bringing a bold, connecting and artistic program. Upside Down has been programming Trefpunt Festival activities on the Sint-Jacobsplein and in the Baudelohof for 10 years. We set the scene with a bold offer of Swing jazz, Funk, Blues, Afro Cuban and Blues, among others. Everyone is welcome to enjoy solo and couple dancing, great live music, surprising dance performances, swinging DJs, high-profile MCs and above all: a good party - for several days in a row.

Sep and Leni of Upside Down (formerly: LouisLou) are particularly thoughtful and flexible, but above all particularly driven in their search for 'authentic entertainment'. Partly because of them, the Retroronde van Vlaanderen was lifted to a higher level by providing a modern mix of vintage animation and entertainment and grew into a permanent fixture. Upside Down is much appreciated by the public and the organization.
Mede door hen werd de Retroronde van Vlaanderen op een hoger niveau getild door een moderne mix van vintage animatie en entertainment te voorzien en uit te groeien tot een vaste waarde. Upside Down wordt fel gesmaakt door het publiek én de organisatie.
Joeri, organizer Retroronde
