The Midi Fair was first held at the Boulevard du Midi in 1880. In this way, the shopkeepers in that area wanted to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the Belgian independence. Later, the city council started to organize and subsidize the fair.

The Midi Fair takes place every year since 1880 starting at the beginning of July, at the first weekend before the national holiday. A real tradition in Brussels.
