For an entire weekend, the Bright Brussels Festival of Light will be shining the spotlight on some of Brussels’ most central neighbourhoods in collaboration with a variety of Belgian and international artists. In 2019, an installation by Romain Tardy will be on display in the extraordinary and iconic Citroën garage at Yser and Yannick Jaquet will be presented by Les Garages Numériques at the Halles Saint Géry.
The neighbourhoods of Quais and Sainte-Catherine will be dressed to dazzle with dozens of illuminations and light animations. Altogether, 11 artists and associations from Belgium and beyond will be decking out some of the Belgian capital’s most emblematic sites.
The route runs towards the historical heart of the city, passing through the Béguinage Lepage and Marchés aux grains – Dansaert neighbourhoods, between Sainctelette and Sainte-Catherine. Come and (re)discover the rich heritage of these neighbourhoods through the magic of light!
