The summer ends colourfully!

On Saturday 6 September, we will be taking to the streets of Forest and Saint-Gilles in festive style. Together with last summer's enthusiasts, we will be announcing the end of our poetic summer. Expect a big party, a parade full of Brussels madness, maypole dancing and colourful characters dressed as Bastardes van Bruxelles. A real Brussels sprout mix!

The Bastard·e·s van Bruxelles are back! Ahead of the summer, we gave the Park Poétik totem a brand-new look using the beautiful fabrics from Cycl.one and with the help of many local residents from Saint-Gilles and Forest. They’ll therefore be taking centre stage during this closing parade. Accompanied by the rhythms of Kid’s Percu and the choreography of a mass on the move by Benjamin Vandewalle and Jonathan Bellinkx, we’ll be moving through the streets. Accompanied by Park Poétik’s mobile installations: the green Cuistax-à-gogo, the blue Taxi Poétik – transformed into Tram Poétik + carriage – and the red, brand-new Radiomobiel. The latter two were built this summer by Precy Numbi with the local children at Square Jordens and with the young people from Radio Mangoboom, who will also be joining us. Finally, we’re bringing back some lovely elements from the start of the arts summer: quirky furniture on wheels by Willemien Meijer with Ecole du Bempt , and the colourful fabric creations by Cycl.one with Arc-en-Ciel and La Preuve par 9.

Fancy joining us? Let’s take a look at our neighbourhood from a different perspective. Together. Once we arrive in the Marais, the Fiesta will kick off there too!
