On september 7 and 8 our party will host our annual festival Manifiesta in which socialist activists from all over the world will come together to debate, learn, party, eat, drink and much more.

We've got European speakers like Corbyn, we've got Palestinian speakers like Dr. Ghassan Abu Sittah, we've got Sudanese activists, Cuban speakers, South African speakers like Irvin Jim, US speakers like Shawn Fain, we've got music, we've got food from Global South countries as well as AES (which is absolutely amazing, trust me). There will be a book fair, there will be workshops on organizing, there will be talks on various topics like feminism, trans rights, healthcare, climate change, public transport, Palestine, etc.

It is always a fun event and you will meet many different comrades from all over the world, all in harmony on a beautiful former horse race track at the beach. Public transport can be free within Belgium, so that could also shorten travel time from abroad.

Oh, and I will be there, as well as @[email protected]

Wow it's like less than 15 minutes from Bruges by train! This is very doable.
