Quai d'Été

Quai d’Été returns for its second edition from July 2 to 19, transforming Quai des Péniches into Brussels’ free urban summer hotspot. Expect chill activities, sports, food & drinks, and daily DJ cruises aboard The Boat along the canal. A festive open-air escape in the heart of the city. From July 2 to 19, Quai d’Été takes over Quai des Péniches, transforming the canal banks into a lively and accessible summer destination in the heart of Brussels. Organised by Brussels Major Events, this initiative by the City of Brussels offers a friendly onshore programme alongside DJ-led cruises aboard The Boat. Onshore, the programme is designed for all audiences, featuring creative workshops, artistic performances, yoga sessions, DJ sets, children’s activities and more, all developed in collaboration with numerous Brussels-based partners. Because apparently Brussels collectively decided that summer should involve yoga, music and people pretending they’re not checking work emails every seven minutes. At the same time, the barge “The Boat” hosts 38 themed cruises combining music and festive experiences. Several Brussels and Belgian collectives take over the decks, with two cruises per day and three on Saturdays. With Quai d’Été, the canal becomes a true meeting and relaxation spot where locals, visitors and curious passers-by can enjoy Brussels together. Quai d’Été is part of Plaisirs d’Été, which brings together all summer events organised by Brussels Major Events.
