what is kokopelli?

Kokopelli vzw was founded in 2006 and consists of a diverse group of volunteers with a passion for world music, festivals and conviviality. We love to organize together for any target group. We are all about spontaneity, togetherness and having a good time.

what is kokopelli?

Kokopelli wants to make people aware of our world, through a festival and more than music.

  • Kokopelli chooses contemporary melodies & beats with influences from all over the world.
  • Kokopelli chooses flavours & stimuli from all over the world.
  • Kokopelli is accessible to all, with attention to people of lesser means, those with disabilities and all ages.
  • Kokopelli is aware of its ecological footprint.

On the American continent, Kokopelli is a god of fertility. Kokopelli wants to give people a taste of the range of cultures on our globe. For these can bring fertility, in the form of celebration and music!

Kokopelli is right in the middle of today's world. Kokopelli offers a view of the world around us and wants people to think about the global impact of their own lifestyle.

This culminates in the annual festival in May. But Kokopelli is more, with actions & communication about world citizenship throughout the year.

Kokopelli is run entirely by enthusiastic volunteers who, with the support of our partners (governments, businesses, NGOs ...), bring the world closer.

We play world music, serve food from different cultures and provide a platform for organisations working for diversity.

Kokopelli wants to be there for everyone. Throughout the festival, in addition to performances, we also organise numerous workshops and entertainment for all ages.

We provide ramps and adapted toilets for wheelchair users. There is a loop for the hearing impaired on all stages. For young families, we provide a care room. With the UiTPAS, discounts can be obtained for those who are less well-off.

We only use reusable plates and cups.
We make soft drinks on site with syrup and tap water in order to avoid wastage.

Decoration is built as much as possible with recycled materials.
