On a peninsula on the Sambre River in Liège, a musical high mass breaks out every year in July. Les Ardentes festival was created in 2006 by Fabrice Lamproye and Gaëtan Servais and has grown into a four-day event with 70,000 visitors each year. Les Ardentes translates as “the fiery ones” and this title fits perfectly with the atmosphere of this wild dance festival under a bright summer sun. The largest festival in Liege and the surrounding area combines an open-air main stage with a smaller open-air dance stage and two smaller indoor venues.

Camping at Les Ardentes is done in an idyllic way on the banks of the river Meuse. There will be two types of campsite, REGULAR and CHILL. The CHILL campsite offers more space, more comfort, more toilets and more showers than the REGULAR campsite. Both campsites are separated and access to one does not give access to the other.

Do you want to camp Easy? Then reserve a spot on REGULAR campsite with a pre-erected FestiTent.
