Iris Festival 2025
On 3 and 4 May 2025, join us in celebrating 36 years of the Brussels-Capital Region. This anniversary is already shaping up to be packed with activities. On Saturday evening, you'll be entertained by the djs of Iris Tipik Electro Night on the Place des Palais, and on Sunday you'll be able to take part in a whole host of activities in the Parc de Bruxelles.
