Every last Sunday of the month, individuals can sign up for a ‘Sticking Around’ guided walk (in Dutch). On August 31st, you can talk the walk in English!

Sticking around
Your guide introduces you to some notable figures from Ghent’s migration past. Meet ‘the Turkish festival mayor’ of the 1970s, French ‘Marie and her whistle’, ‘old Zangrando’ and many others. They all had their own reasons for sticking around in Ghent. A walk about people, full of poignant stories and piquant anecdotes.
