The Belgian Chamber of Commerce in South Africa and the Consulate General of Belgium in Cape Town celebrate the 15th edition of A Taste of Belgium at the Belgian Residence in Newlands. The festival began in 2014 as a gathering for the Belgian community and has grown into an established cultural exchange event. This year’s theme is “Belgium. More than you think”, and it aims to spark wanderlust and inspire travel.
Visitors can enjoy classic frites, fresh waffles and artisanal chocolates, curated wine tastings and speciality brews in an open-air beer garden, with live music through the day. Families can join interactive activities and cultural displays, and meet Smurf cosplayers. A market showcases Belgian and South African artisans and entrepreneurs.
Designated off-site parking is provided with a regular complimentary shuttle to the venue, so don’t drive up to the gate. Please drink responsibly.
