Couleur Café, beyond the stages

New spaces, new flavours and new energy await you at the Osseghem park on June 26, 27 and 28.

EAT, DRINK, EXPLORE 🚶‍♀️

The Rue du Bien Manger returns with 39 restaurants and a new sister: La Dalle, a brand new food zone featuring ten food trucks with a distinctly Brussels character. New this year: Bonanza Café, the festival's very own restaurant, run by professional chefs and young volunteers in partnership with non-profit organization CAPITAL.

Between sets, the brand new Mizizipi Bar sets up lakeside — cocktails in hand, feet in the water.

Over at the Souk, 40+ stalls are waiting: vintage clothes, jewellery, massages, henna, toothgems, hair styling… plus a handful of stands covering health and safety. Bring some old clothes for a free upcycling sesh in the Nalu upcycling hut. Or get some official festival apparel in our own merch shop, featuring shiny new shirts, hoodies and caps, as well as one-of-a-kind upcycled vintage pieces.

LOOK CLOSER! 🌟

This year's programme follows a single thread: As Above, So Below. An ancient idea with a playful twist: look up, look down, look around. Through the trees, beneath the basslines, across every corner of the park, a dozen roaming performances and hidden surprises are waiting to be found. Secret bars, sound installations, wandering shows, unexpected creations: the magic reveals itself to those who take the time to explore.

LA PLANCHA IS YOURS 🔥
