In this video, we take you on the green promenade in Brussels:

Let’s bet that the weather won’t be as nice as expected that day, there is always this tasty alternative: La Luck. This unusual address offers to immerse yourself in a Quebec-style chalet, drink beers, eat poutine or a good burger, and play board games all afternoon. What could be better?

Every year, the event returns on the car-free day. “Châtelain sous oxygène” is set up in the Châtelain district, which will be pedestrianized for the occasion in order to host a lovely flea market in the streets of Page, Simonis and Châtelain. Good news, given the success of previous years, the streets of Amazone and Aqueduc will also be open for the flea market this year. You will also find something to spend the afternoon in complete relaxation thanks to the deckchairs, bubble pools, giant slides, trampolines and bars set up on the square that day.

On the Place Fernand Cocq side this time, it’s time for the “Picnic des Ixellois·es”, a vast event where people come with their own homemade dishes and where everyone sits around large tables. Surprise entertainment will also be organized from 3 p.m., with the winners of the Participatory Budget. As you will have understood, the spirit of this vast Spanish inn is one of conviviality and solidarity. The event will also extend from Place Fernand Cocq to Place Marie-José, Avenue Roger Lallemand and Place Stocq.
