Marktfestival Harelbeke 🇧🇪 & Vive la Fête, Harelbeke 🇧🇪

MAF is the new and free market festival in Harelbeke.

For many years now, Vive la Fête has ensured an exciting musical party on stage. Since 1997, the Belgian band of Danny Mommens (ex-bass player of dEUS) and Els Pynoo has been bringing danceable electro-rock, with a touch of kitsch and some new wave and French chanson lurking in the background.

The story

Time for La Fête! And a selfie with the band’s bass player himself!
