Fantastic happenings on the Belgium event calendar
The best way to learn about a new city is watch it at play. And at the Metropole, you're never more than a few minutes away from fun things to do in Brussels, Belgium. Dig the scene at the Audi Jazz Festival -- a citywide, 70-concert festival showcasing international artists such as the Universal Language Quartet, the Brussels Jazz Orchestra, Herbie Hancock, and Maceo Parker. Get those creative juices flowing at Europalia … an artistic explosion of live theatre, concerts, painting exhibits, film screenings, dance recitals, and more. Witness the power of the flower at the Grand Place, where every two years, the centre of Brussels is transformed into a gigantic carpet of fresh begonias intricately worked into a themed pattern.
