Have Fun at Brussels Summer Festival
With over 35 music festivals happening all year round, there is something here for even the lovers of the most obscure music genres. Some of these festivals have been around for years and are now considered institutions in themselves.
August, in particular, brings to Brussels the legendary Brussels Summer Festival. From the 14th to the 18th of August, Place des Palais (Grand Place) is going to be lit with concerts, DJ sets, drama and street art. The festival has 3 main stages; the Orange Stage at Mont Des Arts, the Ethias Stage at Place Des Palais and La Madeleine.
