“Following the latest declarations on health regulations, the City of Brussels and the organisers of Winter Wonders are studying several possibilities,” the organisation announced “Various plans and scenarios are on the table. Meetings are being held between the various interested parties. More news will follow as soon as possible.”
According to the Brussels Times, a web shop has also been created to allow retailers that should have been at the market to sell their wares.
Another activity that will be back this year is the Winter Pop and its magical atmosphere. Several dates in various neighborhoods have been planned:
- From Friday 26 to Sunday 28 November at Place de la Chapelle in the Marolles

We are in contact with the federal and regional authorities to finalize the practical details to organize this unmissable winter event in the best conditions
