The world will dance in Westerlo on Saturday 7th, Sunday 8th and Monday 9th of August 2009! In the surroundings of the beautiful city hall, the former Jeanne De Merode Castle, you can enjoy traditional dances and music from all over the world. The colourful and exciting spectacle is every year again an unique encounter with foreign cultures.

The International Folkfestival, an organisation of Folkartgroup Die Spelewei and Tourism Westerlo , will be organised for the 43th time in 2009.

The event evolved out of the Harvest Festivities that Die Spelewei vzw organised since it was founded in 1956. Currently the International Folkfestival attracts over 2.000 visitors who come and enjoy the magical atmosphere. On Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon the groups perform in the garden of the city hall, on Monday afternoon there is a performance for the elderly in the multi-functional hall 'De Zoerla' in Zoerle-Parwijs. On rainy days all shows take place in 'De Zoerla'
