You are expected every Thursday of the summer on the terraces of the Place du Jeu de Balle, in the heart of the Marolles, the true Brussels neighborhood par excellence. The terraces are accessible from 6:30 PM to 10:00 PM and the groups will perform from around 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

And if you want to extend your evening, you can do so without any problem in the various bars and restaurants in the neighborhood!

Attention! There will be no guinguette on July 18th, as the square will be preparing to host the festivities of the National Day, which takes place every year in the neighborhood. More info about this event: https://www.balnational.be/

The music is played in the open air and all passersby can enjoy it. If you want to drink or eat something, head to the shops and then settle on the guinguette terraces! For a preview, discover the participating shops below:

This project is an initiative of the merchants of the Place du Jeu de Balle and is coordinated by Entreprendre Bruxelles and Brussels Major Event.
