    "body": "<p>In Merksem worden dit jaar tal van activiteiten georganiseerd ter ere van &lsquo;100 jaar Gaston Berghmans&rsquo;. De in 2016 overleden komiek is dan ook Merksems bekendste en meest geliefde inwoner aller tijden. </p><p>Ook op vrijdag 2 oktober staat het district in het teken van zijn nalatenschap. In het kader van het Gaston Berghmansjaar kunnen Merksemnaren dan gratis genieten van verschillende podiumartiesten die het typische Antwerpse karakter en de volkse sfeer van Berghmans volop laten klinken.</p><p>De Aantwaarpse Avond vindt plaats in de feesttent in het Bouckenborghpark. Het district nodigt alle Merksemnaren uit om gratis en zonder reservering vooraf mee te komen zingen, genieten, dansen en vieren in een unieke Antwerpse sfeer. </p><h4 id=\"programma\" >Programma</h4><ul class=\"release-content-list release-content-list--bulleted release-content-list--align-inherit\"><li><span>20 uur |<strong> De Pikkedieve</strong> zorgen voor herkenbare Antwerpse liedjes en ambiance.</span></li><li><span>21 uur |<strong> Circo Maximo</strong> brengt aanstekelijke Nederlandstalige folk en &lsquo;Belgicana&rsquo; met een eigen dialecttoets.</span></li><li><span>22 uur |<strong> Jean Bosco Safari</strong> vervolledigt de affiche met zijn warme podiumpr&eacute;sence en een mix van pop, soul en verhalen die het publiek weet te raken.</span></li><li><span>23 uur |<strong> Katastroof</strong> is al decennialang een begrip met zijn humoristische en volkse nummers in het Antwerps dialect.</span></li></ul><p><strong>Alle info
