Upcoming Events

On 12 September 2026, the Brussels Open Air Festival transforms five of Brussels’ most iconic squares into open-air dancefloors. For its third edition, ten local collectives take over public spaces with programmes ranging from hip-hop and R&B to techno, dub and afrobeats. A one-day celebration of the diversity, creativity and vibrancy of Brussels’ festive and musical culture.

Under the sun of Brussels, in the heart of Vaux Hall, we are creating a safer space for underrepresented communities to gather, dance, perform, and celebrate their existence. A day shaped by music, live acts, performances, and carried by migrants, women, queer, trans, and racialized communities.

Les Jacqueries are returning to the Saint-Jacques neighborhood, and "C'est ma tournée" will be part of the festivities! Street performances, a brass band, an authentic Brussels vibe... we’ll be waiting for you at the bar to raise a glass together.
