Bruges, West Flanders, Belgium
Taptoe Brugge returns on Saturday, July 3, 2027, to Burg Square in Bruges, Belgium.
The evening presents more than two and a half hours of music and spectacle, featuring show and marching bands from Belgium and abroad. The historic setting and participation of the Bruges carillon give the performance its distinctive character.
What is a taptoe?
Originally an end-of-day military signal, the taptoe has developed into a musical show combining sound, light, colour and marching displays. Modern performances bring together civilian as well as military ensembles, with a ceremonial finale recalling the tradition’s origins.
