Bright Festival is back from 15 to 18 February!

Bright Festival is one of those events that many Brussels residents and visitors await with impatience every year. This time the Brussels Festival of Lights takes place from 15 to 18 February 2024. Two popular neighbourhoods will be in the spotlight – the Royal Quarter and the European Quarter.

This is a great opportunity to rediscover the city during four magical evenings through some thirty works created by artists from all over the world. The event this year also aims to shine the spotlight on Europe and its values, coinciding with the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

Apart from the artistic installations, there will be also a rich programme with guided tours, live entertainment and heritage illuminations, as well as something new for this edition – children’s zone from 17:30 to 22:00, so that the little ones can also experience the magic of light this winter.

No excuses to stay home, Bright Festival is definitely a great chance to enjoy and see the city in a different light!

For more information and the full programme with the list of installations, check the visit.brussels website.
