The maritime dance festival A La Marine Nation, which took place for the first time in Antwerp on 24 October 2024, attracted over 1,500 visitors. The event raised as much as 250,000 euros for charity.
The Antwerp shipping group CMB.TECH and the shipping company MSC Belgium each take turns organising a big festival: one year ‘Overstag‘, the other year ‘A La Marine Nation’. Both events aim to bring the maritime community together, getting to know each other in an informal atmosphere, having a great party and raising money for charity.
It was over the heads in the Waagnatie for the first edition of A La Marine Nation. More than 1,500 visitors put on their dancing shoes and conquered the dance floor. ‘Because It Can & Average Rob’ was eagerly awaited, but the swinging beats of ‘The Dirty Daddies’, DJ Wout, DJ Hans and DJ Dimitri Wouters were also immensely enjoyed by attendees.
250,000 euros
All proceeds from A La Marine Nation directly benefit TAJO (Talent Atelier for Young People). “We were able to bring the industry together in a unique way and all for the good cause for which we raised over 250,000 euros,” he said. The artists set the Waagnatie on fire. The visitors thoroughly enjoyed themselves,” CMB.TECH looks back with satisfaction.
Below is a video report of the evening as well as a photo album.
