Bookmark & shareThe most prestigious annual event in Brussels is Ommegang, a 16th-century-style procession staged within the illuminated Grand Place in early July. Just as popular is the biennial flower carpet that colours the square in mid-August (even-numbered years). Immerse yourself in music at the annual Brussels Jazz Marathon (last weekend in May) or get down to some African beats at the Couleur Café's celebration of local diversity. The Grand Place, together with the Sablon and Place Ste Catherine, also host free open-air concerts throughout summer.
