The Giants

25 until 27 August 2023

This summer, the City of Antwerp can look forward to yet another visit from the internationally renowned Royal de Luxe, who will bring some giants to life on the last weekend of August at a free event for young and old. The city has had a unique partnership with Royal de Luxe for more than 20 years and has welcomed several shows by this company to Antwerp in the past. In 1998, for example, the city hosted the Little Giant and His Friends. In 2006, the Elephant and the Little Giant wandered through the city, in 2010 a huge Diver emerged from the Kattendijk dock and in 2015, Grandma Giant and the Little Giant came together at the MAS. Keep an eye on the website to find out which giants will be visiting the city this year.
