The 18th edition of the popular 'Wanterfeeling' festival is taking place in Sanem, proving a big hit with visitors of all ages.

A total of 10,000 visitors were welcomed during the first two days of the 'Wanterfeeling' festival in Sanem.

Large crowds turned out on Saturday evening to enjoy the spectacular fire show, with Italian company Opera Fiammae putting on a fiery performance. Acrobats in the circus tent also helped create a lively atmosphere.

In its early years, the event offered both a summer and a winter experience, but has now shifted its focus entirely to the latter. The area surrounding the former "Kannerschlass" provides an ideal setting for hosting such a large-scale event in the municipality of Sanem.

Preparations begin several days in advance, with mulch spread across the site to ensure visitors can walk around without getting muddy if the weather turns bad.

The three-day event features entertainment, spectacular performances and a wide range of market stalls. Admission is free for children and young people up to the age of 16, while adults pay 10 euros for all three days.
