Practical

Saturday, 24 August, 2024 up to and including Sunday, 25 August, 2024 - 15:00 until 20:00



VC De Schakel, Steenweg 32, 2800 Mechelen

Even more enjoyable than last year, if possible.

As delightful as last year was, this year promises to be even better. To kick things off, we’re offering pints and other drinks at a truly unbeatable VUB-friendly price. But that’s just the beginning. We’ve got an extra surprise lined up for you.

This Saturday, you’ll have the chance to chat with GAL, the renowned political commentator known for his sharp wit and even sharper pen. He’ll be making an appearance at VC De Schakel from 16:00 onwards to mark the opening of the VUB x GAL exhibition. For an entire month, you can admire twenty of this visual critic’s works displayed at VC De Schakel.

GAL will also be happy to sign a small booklet for you, featuring reproductions of these beautiful works. And if you’re curious to learn more about GAL before meeting him in person, be sure to read the interview (in Dutch) we recently conducted with him.

SPAGHETTI FROM OUR VSKM
Feeling peckish during your visit to our pop-up café? We’ve got you covered. Between 17.00 and 20.00, students from our oldest regional student circle—of course, the one from Mechelen—will be delighted to serve you a delicious plate of spaghetti. Bon appétit!

In short, there are plenty of reasons to drop by the VUB pop-up café during Maanrock on Saturday the 24th (from 2 PM) or Sunday the 25th of August (from 3 PM). The address: Steenweg 32, Vrijzinnig Centrum De Schakel, right next to Mechelen’s Grote Markt. Don’t forget to confirm your attendance on our Facebook event and invite your fellow VUBers!
