This Saturday, September 29th, there’ll be another edition of the Gran Fiesta Latina in Waaiberg (in front of sports centre KULeuven, Delhaize, GB). People usually start to arrive around 11pm … Very primitive dance floor and setting in general but normally there’s a nice atmosphere in these parties.
