Winter Glow will be taking place throughout the city from 22 November 2024 until 05 January 2025.
A wonderful winter experience. A winter festival packed with fascinating experiences – that’s what Winter Glow is all about.
A new Light experience trail, ice skating with unique decor on the Minnewater (Lake of love), a cosy winter bar, two Christmas markets, shopping fun during the many shopping days and a lovely walking trail to wander through the historic centre with its beautiful atmospheric lighting and Christmas decorations. In other words, there are more than enough reasons to stay in Bruges overnight and experience wintry Bruges at its most beautiful.
Brewery 'De Halve Maan'
'De Halve Maan' is an authentic brewery in the centre of Bruges. It is a family business with a tradition stretching back through six generations to 1856. This is where the Bruges city beer - the Brugse Zot - is brewed: a strong-tasting, high-fermentation beer based on malt, hops and special yeast. In 2016, a unique underground beer pipeline, some 3 km long, was laid from the brewery to the bottling plant in the suburbs. They organise daily tour and at the end, the visitors are offered a free glass of Brugse Zot blond beer. Also make sure to try the Straffe Hendrik or the Brugse witte.
