After a magical first edition in the industrial heart of Ghent, we’re taking a leap for our second edition to the city’s athletic core. We warmly welcome you to the sports hall of Sport Vlaanderen Gent, located by the beautiful Blaarmeersen, right next to the Watersportbaan. A location that offers us all the space and calm we need to make BalhallaFestival bigger, more comfortable, and even more magical.

What is a sports hall by day, will be transformed during the festival into an atmospheric dance space full of character. With a comfortable dance floor, warm lighting, and of course the unique Balhalla vibe, you’ll feel right at home — but with extra space to move freely and enjoy to the fullest.

The festival is located at the Watersportbaan in Ghent, the city’s athletic heart — easily accessible by both public transport and car.

Adress: Zuiderlaan 14, 9000 Gent

On foot / bike

It’s a 40-minute walk from Gent-Sint-Pieters train station or a 12-minute bike ride.

For those who prefer to save their feet for dancing, bike rentals are available in Ghent — both via subscription and one-time use. You can find an overview here:
