KORTRIJK CREATIVITY FESTIVAL
KORTRTIJK PRESENTS AN IMPRESSIVE CREATIVE AUTUMN PROGRAMME
The fact that a pandemic brought down the Biennale INTERIEUR and the city programme was an impulse for the creative scene in Kortrijk to join forces more intensively than ever. The result is a brand new city festival WONDER. Creativity, design, art, music and above all: amazement and optimism are at the heart of an inspiring route for young and old for a month. Completely coronaproof, of course.
From 15 October to 15 November, the creative festival for amazement WONDER occupies the city centre of Kortrijk. At 12 different locations in the city, the doors will open for young design talent, architecture, art installations, concerts, workshops and innovative projects in a programme in which every lover of creativity – in the broadest sense of the word – can find his or her liking.

Designregio Kortrijk is showing the Belgian designers of tomorrow in the exhibition ‘We Are the Next Generation’.
