🌸 Brussels Flower Carpet by Night | Exclusive Town Hall Balcony View
Details
Saturday, 15 August 2026 | Brussels Grand-Place | Balcony admission: 8:00 PM
Imagine looking down from Brussels Town Hall as the Grand-Place transforms into an enormous canvas of flowers - and experiencing it together with a new group of people.
For the 24th edition of the Brussels Flower Carpet, we’re bringing the Sunday Vacations community together for a special summer evening in the heart of Brussels.
This year’s theme celebrates Japan, with a brand-new artistic floral fresco created from dahlias, grass and bark across approximately 1,680 m² of the Grand-Place.
And we won’t only see it from street level.
✨ We have reserved a private group visit to the balcony of Brussels Town Hall at 8:00 PM, giving us a spectacular bird’s-eye view of the Flower Carpet as the evening light settles over the historic square.
## 🌿 Experience Overview
This is more than a quick visit to see the Flower Carpet.
We’ll meet as a group, get to know each other, explore the Grand-Place together and then head inside the Hôtel de Ville de Bruxelles for our reserved balcony admission.
From above, we’ll have the chance to appreciate the scale, colours and details of the Japanese-inspired composition — and, of course, capture some beautiful photos.
Afterwards, we’ll return to the Grand-Place and enjoy the lively Saturday-night atmosphere together.
Come alone or bring a friend. Solo joiners are especially welcome. Sunday Vacations is about discovering places while making it easier to meet people along the way.
