Place Emile Bockstael inauguration

This event has already passed

On Sunday 27 June 2021, from 11 am, at the Place Emile Bockstael.

Thanks to the Bockstael sustainable district contract, the Place Emile Bockstael and its surroundings have been given a different face. It is the end of a one-year project, an investment of 2.6 million euros and a long participatory process with the residents and actors of the neighbourhood.
