MORE INFO

Brussels Environment had organized a similar event since 2000, which quickly became unmissable for both local residents and environmental organizations. In 2016, it was renamed the “Festival of the Environment”. It featured two highlights: BEL Movie Day on 3 June, screening films on the environment and good food and, on Sunday 5 June 2016, a market providing information on biodiversity, waste treatment, renewable energy… all in a fun setting filled with activities, music, dance, circus, street arts, workshops…
The various formats encouraged visitors to join our common cause: supporting environmental protection without scaremongering.

Brussels Colours

About Brussels Colours

After a challenging few weeks for our capital at the end of 2015, the City of Brussels wanted to lighten the mood, uniting local residents and Belgians to emphasize that Brussels is a lively, friendly, open, creative and diverse city that we can all be proud of. For over eight hours on Saturday 30 January, the city centre celebrated peace and tolerance at a free event held at Brussels Stock Exchange.

Over 7,000 people came to be part of this unforgettable experience. From 16:30 to midnight, visitors were able to enjoy street entertainment and local culinary specialties whilst listening to Belgian and international artists sing or express their attachment to Brussels. A talk show was recorded simultaneously in the Stock Exchange, hosting guests from different backgrounds.
