This event has already passed
From 12 to 15 August 2022 at the Grand-Place of Brussels (construction of the carpet on Friday 12 August).

Design of the 1971 Flower Carpet
The Flower Carpet is celebrating its 50th anniversary and 22nd edition this year. The design used for this edition is therefore a reference to the first design from 1971. All the elements of this first design are present in the 2022 carpet, including the Saint Michael archangel and the Belgian lion.
