Polé Polé Festival from the water in a kayak? Yes you can!

Guides

Polé Polé has been the water festival at the Gentse Feesten for more than 20 years, thanks to the stage over the water at the Korenlei, the summer beats and the dancing crowd along the quays. Regular party goers can confirm that it can sometimes be busy on the docks. But you can also enjoy the music in a relaxed way, from the water in one of our kayaks!

From Dobber Beestenmarkt you can paddle straight into the city center, with a stunning view of the stage and the party beats from the water. You set your own pace: float around slowly, find somewhere to enjoy the music or take a short tour on Ghent's waterways.

Who is coming to Polé Polé Gentse Feesten 2025?

As usual, Polé Polé has another line-up for the entire 10 days of the Ghent Feesten. Once again, it promises to be a mix of DJ sets and lots of tropical vibes from various genres.

  • Kayaking to Polé Polé: how does it work?

    With Dobber, you can easily rent your kayak via your smartphone. The starting point is our locker at the Beestenmarkt. You open the locker with your phone and you can go straight into the water. Don't forget your drybag for your belongings and enjoy a unique Ghent Festival experience.

    Be sure to take your reserved time into account and return your kayak to the locker in time.

    Did you go kayaking at the end of the day? Make sure you return your kayak by 9 pm at the latest.

    No more availability at the Beestenmarkt? You can also check out Dobber Blaarmeersen and paddle to the center

    Polé Polé is the place to be during the Ghent Festivities — and from the water, it just gets that little bit more special.


    Looking to enjoy Polé Polé's beats from the water? Book your kayak or SUP via Dobber Beestenmarkt and discover Ghent like you've never seen it before!
