Amazing Asia

-Antwerp-

21-22-23 NOVEMBER

Where is the festival taking place?

This year you will find us in the heart of Antwerp, in the Waagnatie, right next to the Scheldt.

Address: Waagnatie Expo & Events 150, 2000 Antwerp

Once you are there, you simply let yourself be guided by the smell of freshly baked spring rolls.

What are the opening hours?

Friday: 12u00 - 22u00
Saturday: 12u00 - 22u00
Sunday: 12u00 - 20u00

For three full days, immerse yourself in the scents, colours, and flavours of the East. Stroll among lanterns, sample everything from sushi to satay, score unique bargains at our typical Asian market, and enjoy performances and workshops that will transport you right to the heart of Asia.
