Enjoy Music and More in Brussels
The Brussels Summer Festival offers a variety of music and performing arts.A good time to visit Brussels for a summer holiday is during the Brussels Summer Festival, one of the most popular music festivals in Europe. It is held in the middle of August every year, and attracts visitors from all over the world. This festival features loads of good music, as well as other forms of entertainment that include visual arts exhibitions and live theatrical performances.
The stages are found in four different parts of the city, all of which are convenient for travellers making the flight from Bristol to Brussels. These are the Place de Palais, Mont des Arts, Brussels Park, and Place de Musee. A number of musicians from Belgium perform at the festival, as well as artists from the UK and other European nations. The music on offer is quite diverse, and there is sure to be something that will appeal to every taste.
Attendees who have a valid BSF pass receive free admission to the BELvue Museum throughout the festival; this museum houses one of Belgium's finest art collections and is close to Mont des Arts. Several fun family events are hosted at the museum during the festival, with an emphasis on programmes appealing to children ages three to 16. The museum has an outdoor terrace where festival goers can enjoy refreshments and listen to some of the music.
A major advantage that the festival offers is that it can be easily reached without driving. Two of the Metro lines have stops near festival venues, and guests can also reach festival venues by bus or tram.
