From mid July until August 14 an area on the banks of the Brussels-Charleroi Canal is opened as a summer "beach" - the Bruxelles les Bains. There are palm trees, olive trees and bamboos in grassy and sandy areas, where you can sit in the sun in free deck chairs and enjoy exotic food and drink stalls and free entertainment for both adults and children. Particularly nice for young children - sand to play in and water activities. Admission is free. A great place to put your feet up after museums etc.
It's started four years ago, and is repeated yearly.
