As part of the European Heritage Days, and renamed Heritage Days, this weekend is devoted to the remarkable buildings of the Brussels region, whether public or private. Each year, a theme is treated and places, often inaccessible to visitors in normal times, are opened. In addition to the site visits, thematic guided tours are organised, and bike rides are also becoming increasingly popular. The only drawback is that places are limited for the most popular places, so you have to book quickly!

This is the hip hop, groove and rap music event in Liège in July, with an American and French-speaking scene. Every year, festival-goers are surprised by the quality of the line-up. The line-up is top-notch: Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj, ASAP Rocky, Wiz Khalifa, Pharell Williams, Marc Ronson, Massive Attack, NTM have all performed here... In 2019, the Black Eyed Peas took to the stage. In 2022, it was Stromae and Orelsan, and in 2023 Kaaris, Kendrick Lamar, J Balvin, DJ Snake and Aya Nakamura, who set the stage alight. Next edition in 2024!

Actors, dancers, musicians and amateurs animate this playful and fanciful parade in the heart of Brussels. The mission of this project is to develop the creativity of the people of Brussels while bringing them together in a zany, falsely disorganised and typically local atmosphere. The Zinneke Parade consists of about twenty Zinnodes (the name given to the groups) from different backgrounds: partners from the cultural and social sector, neighbourhood committees, informal groups, artistic collectives. A zinneke? A pure inhabitant of Brussels or a dog with no breed...

It is Europe's largest open-air living exhibition focusing on different aspects of the rural world and research. The fair presents 3,500 animals and machines. The "Ardenne joyeuse" zone allows the 200,000 visitors to discover quality local products. The Libramont Fair is also the occasion for the Walloon authorities to award the much awaited Coqs de Cristal, distinctions that honor producers in various categories of food products. It's like the Oscars of Walloon gastronomy!
