Holidaymakers intending to fly to Brussels later this year might want to check out the Zinneke Parade.

The biennial event will take place on May 31st this year and will see the city immerse itself in a riot of colour, music and parties as a massive parade makes its way through Brussels.

Visitors to the Belgian capital can expect to see a host of entertainment from street performers in a variety of arts disciplines as the 4,000-strong costumed parade marches through the city.

Every parade has its own theme and with this year's being centred on water, spectators can expect to see some interesting sights throughout the event.

Other attractions in Brussels include the Mini Europe park, the Royal Palace, the Cathedral of Saints Michel and Gudule, and the Oceade water park, to name a few.

Take a look at the Brussels International website for more details.
