Every 2 years there is a flower carpet made out of 750 000 flowers(!) in the capital of Belgium, Brussels. It`s a tradition that started in 1952, but it wasn`t until 1971 that the first large flower carpet was made on the Grande-Place in Brussels.
Every two years there is a different theme and this year the ‘Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union’ is the theme. You can admire this spectacle during the daytime as well as in the evening, when there is music and light.
I visited this beautiful flower carpet in Brussels on Friday and took some pictures. Enjoy!
