Brussels Games Festival 2018

This summer, brussels plays !

For the sixth edition of the Brussels Games Festival, the Cinquantenaire Park will once again be trans- formed into an enormous 40,000 m² playground. New this year is that the festival will open its doors on Friday, August 24th at 3pm. Add to that Saturday (starting at 11am) and Sunday (until 7pm), and that’s 32 hours of non-stop animation! Three crazy and joyful days for an audience of all ages. And it’s free !

The Brussels Games Festival is the first summer festival in Brussels dedicated to games. It’s open to everyone: families, players that are new to the hobby, established gamers, those who are curious, but also to professionals: social workers, educators, pedagogues, speech therapists, teachers…
