Lauched in 2002 by the City of Brussels, this event can today boast of being the most important culural event in Brussels. The BSF became a music festival like any other.
Now a firmly established tradition for the City of Brussels, the festival has clearly become a leading cultural and street-based event ! It is also becoming well known abroad, thanks to its numerous attractions: reasonable priced tickets, great sites, ease of access, a diverse and high-quality programme (rock, world music, jazz, classical, electro, hip-hop, folk, reggae, etc.) which also features other disciplines such as plastic arts, theatre and cinema! Now well based in the royal quarter (Place des Palais, Place du Musée and Monts des Arts)...
