Boechout

Boechout is a little town between Antwerp and Lier. You can easily arrive there by bus 130 or 297.
Usually it is a very quiet little village but a few times a year it is full with life and music. People from far away come to perform and people from all regions come to watch: The Sfinks Festival!
But to prepare Boechout for this enourmous 4 days festival, held at he last weekend of July, they already organise a smaller event.
Yesterday, the 29th I went to the Sfinks market. In the evening there was a footrally with different groups, performing at different locations.
I think Boechout is ready for Summer and party time!

Never heard of it of the Sfinks before but it really sounds great. I need to schedule some holidays at this time.
