Flower Carpet

13-16 Aug, 2026

Grote Markt

Every two years, the Grand Place in Brussels transforms into a vibrant canvas with the Flower Carpet, a massive display made up of nearly one million flowers. You’ll see a 70 by 24-meter design carefully arranged by about 120 volunteers in just a few hours. This edition celebrates Japan, bringing back a fresh artistic fresco that follows their first collaboration in 2016. It’s a chance to witness a unique blend of nature and creativity in a historic setting. Watching the flower carpet come together offers a fascinating glimpse into teamwork and artistry, with each bloom playing a part in the bigger picture. Whether you’re drawn to floral design, cultural themes, or simply the scale of the project, there’s something rewarding about seeing the final result unfold. It’s easy to enjoy this event with friends or fellow visitors, sharing moments of quiet appreciation or lively conversation as the colors and patterns take shape.
