On 09 May 2025, Europe day, citizens will gather at the Grand Place, in the heart of Brussels, for a powerful celebration of European values of peace, democracy, solidarity and unity.

The event will gather citizens, policy-makers, artists, activists, students, who will come together and reflect on what connects us as Europeans.

Organised by the European Movement International and the City of Brussels, the celebration comes at a time when our shared values matter more than ever.

The first half of the evening will feature a public discussion in the courtyard of City Hall, where participants will be able to share their views with policy-makers and shareholders. The discussion will be broadcast live on Belgian media. In the second half, the iconic Grand Place will come alive with a live DJ set and a light show in the colours of the EU flag.

To help create a shared and welcoming atmosphere, we are encouraging everyone to bring an EU flag or wear something blue. It’s a simple way to show we are all in this together. Join us!
