With a group from or to Lokeren
Lokeren lies between Ghent and Antwerp, close to the E17. For a group from the area it is an easy place to set off: via the Lokeren exit the coach is on the motorway within a few minutes, towards Ghent or towards Antwerp.
At the end of July and the beginning of August there are the Lokerse Feesten, ten days of music on the Grote Kaai, in the heart of the town. That is exactly where coaches park the rest of the year, and during the festival several streets in the centre are closed. Outside those ten days a visiting group can walk from the car park to the Markt in a few minutes.
