The story

Sfinks Mixed in Boechout

A free, multi-day world music festival in the village of Boechout that grew out of a 1970s folk festival and has booked global artists including Youssou N Dour and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Alongside the main stages, the event runs parades, DJ sets, installations and a dedicated Kidz Village for younger children, all without a ticket gate.

Sfinks began in 1975 as a folk festival built around acts like the Irish group Clannad, and only after 1982 did it turn gradually toward the world music program it is known for today, eventually hosting figures such as Youssou N Dour, Cheb Khaled and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan in the village of Boechout.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Free admission is unusual for a festival of this scale and shapes the whole event: there is no ticket queue, and the crowd mixes people staying for the full run with those dropping in for an afternoon

02

The mystery stays covered

The festival also runs a dedicated Kidz Village, a separate childrens festival within the larger one rather than a token play area, and its roots trace back to 1975 as a folk festival, later pivoting deliberately toward world and global music after 1982, a history that gives the current program real depth
