Social engagement of Gent Jazz Festival
Gent Jazz Festival wants to be a pioneer when it comes to quality on the terrains
as well as concerning its corporate social responsibility. They generally focus
on durability of all kind of aspects. This engagement has an impact both on choices
made at the festival as on partnerships and own activities.
Gent Jazz Festival therefore developed a carpool project in collaboration
with Taxistop and Ethias. Thanks to Eneco, extra security at the bicycle racks
will be provided. TreinTramBus.be will provide you with information about transport
possibilities, both on their website as on the festival area. More information concerning
this initiative will be released soon.
Tasty, varied and healthy food at Gent Jazz Festival
Concerning the culinary aspect, the festival wants to set a statement with
the claim to offer the tastiest and healthiest catering to its audience. A catering
with special focus on regional seasonal products and fresh-cooked meals. Gourmet
Invent accepted the challenge and developed a complete renewed festival catering
together with several top chefs of Bhavani (Bruges), Café Parti (Ghent) and Frank
Fol, who is known as the ‘vegetable chef'.
Gent Jazz Festival will also participate at "Thursday veggieday", an initiative
of Stad Gent and EVA and will serve on Thursdays only a first-rate choice of delicious
meals without fish nor meat.
