Authorisation for a street trading stand

Around 170 street trading stands are spread across the City of Brussels, including a Food Truck Trail with approximately 11 stands, chip vendor stands, kiosks, stands for ice cream vendors, stands for matches at the King Baudouin Stadium.

Please note: due to the large number of applications for new stands, the City of Brussels is forced to temporarily refuse this type of application. However, the City invites you to regularly consult the Street Trade website. The tenders for available stands will appear on this website.

The list of stands is constantly evolving. Stands are allocated on a subscription-only basis and not on a day-to-day basis. They are governed by regulations and supervised by the City of Brussels.

Different stand options are available:

  • Fixed (annual and tacitly renewable)
  • Temporary (15 days to 3 months)
  • Occasional (1 to 15 days)

Note that on the Food Truck Trail, subscriptions are on a monthly basis and are tacitly renewed unless the trader has given notice.
