48 things to do in Antwerp this weekend

Here's the thing about Antwerp this time of year: October weekends fill up fast, and this one (Oct 02–Oct 04) is no exception. 48 events made the calendar, so we read through every one and kept the five worth your time.

The spread is music and community & culture, with Saturday stacking up 29 events — the busiest day of the three. 11 of the weekend's events are free.

If your budget's tight this month: 11 of the weekend's events are free. Weekends don't have to be expensive to be good.
