Cirque Magique festival

It is with great pride that we introduce to you: Cirque Magique. A brand new festival in the middle of the fields of Ledegem where we will disturb no one and where we will present our public a truly magical experience. An experience that will blow people’s minds instead of blow them away, a party that will arouse the senses instead of drowning them. Cirque Magique stands for true magic and not pure commerce. Back to the underground with an eye on ecology, that is Cirque Magique.

Cirque Magique will differentiate itself from the endless list of festivals in this country and will do so in every aspect of the festival. One constant factor in all this will be the best possible quality: whether we are talking about food, drinks, sound & light, decorations or animations, Cirque Magique resolutely chooses top quality.

As you can hear in the name, Cirque Magique will provide a magical touch. Real magic originates from a feeling, a real feeling that emanates pure energy. Energy that comes from the heart to ensure an atmosphere that transcends daily reality. An atmosphere in which real miracles can still happen …

The theme around which this atmosphere will be created is that of the circus: a place where we have all been amazed as a child (and maybe even as an adult). All decorations and acts will be completely spun out around this theme. The decorations will consist of multi-dimensional and visual landscapes built by Artescape from Cape Town, South-Africa. They will without a doubt be true pieces of art, never seen before in Belgium.

Music wise, Cirque Magique returns to the base and goes for a unique and forward thinking program. No room for EDM and the likes on Cirque Magique but a broad spectrum of the best, underground, electronic music: from house to techno, from the past to the present and the future. The main festival will consist of 3 stages: the Cirque Magique Stage presenting a Moon Harbour Showcase (this leading German label will bring an array of great international artists who will be accompanied by local heroes, offering the best in techno), the Feestgedruis Stage where a fine selection of international house and deep house artists will be joined by great, young talents from our own backyard and the Cirque Antique Stage (where the best classics will be brought by Belgian veterans in the field).

Another important aspect of the festival will be the ecological approach. Cirque Magique will strongly emphasize environmental issues because true magic only happens in a world that is conscious about nature and the environment. This aspect will be implemented wherever possible: re-usable cups, a system to keep cigarette buds out of the grass, a reward system for collecting garbage,… We will contribute to a clean field with the least amount of waste, as much as we can.

And this brings us to our next point: catering. We will be working with Camping Gourmet who will provide food of the highest standard. And yes, also on the camping-site because Cirque Magique will also offer its visitors a camping, one with a pre- and after party. As such we hope to submerge our public in a complete experience of the highest order: an experience in which they can escape reality, without losing their consciousness about that reality. There will also be a “Lounge Magique” where our partners will be able to enjoy their Camping Gourmet food in a cozy setting. This Lounge will only be accessible for our partners and the artists.

Cirque Magique will be a cozy festival ‘from the people, for the people’ and that’s what will make it unique and different.

On Sunday we will transform part of the festival grounds into a playground for the young ones. On this day we offer young parents the chance to come party with their offspring. We will also provide professional caretakers for when the parents need a break and want to have a boogie on their own. Sweettrade presents Kids Magic!
