Yes and no. Gentse feesten is a lot of fun but the city is really really overcrowded. Best would be to go first to explore the city and go to Gentse feesten a 2nd time to just enjoy without sightseeing :-) Not much fun in sightseeing with a huge hangover ;-)

Ah yes, the atmosphere must be different with a lot of tipsy/drunk people as well.
