Brussels Best Moments XXII

Yesterday was Belgian National Day! All around the city you could feel the festive atmosphere, and today we continue in the same spirit.  In the past days the central square in the Marollen was full with people who celebrated, singed and danced in a traditional festival called ‘Bal National’. Also, Grand Place was full of young people who danced and enjoyed the pre-party of Tomorrowland festival.

To get you ready for the weekend find some inspiration in the best shots that have caught our eye in the past week. If you’re still looking for the right Saturday/Sunday activity then check our Brussels Express agenda to find something that suits your mood.

Pre-opening tommorrowland party!!!!

'The Weeping Elephant’ stands proud in #Brussels. She's a sculpture of an African elephant who travels around the world and appears in cities, she ‘weeps’ to make her presence felt. #JantienMook #welovebrussels #flagey #summerinbelgium
