Belgium, and Brussels in particular, have been fertile ground for comic strips from the very beginning, so it’s entirely fitting that they dedicate a full weekend to the rich cultural heritage that is the “Ninth Art.” Since it began in 2010, the Brussels Comic Strip Festival has grown by leaps and bounds and acquired a reputation as a premier festival in the Ninth Art world. More than 100,000 people are now expected to attend each year as well as 250 renowned authors.
Each year the Brussels Comic Strip Festival is the main event for all comic strip fans. Whether young or old, amateur or expert, tourist or Brussels local, merchant or buyer, there is something for everyone in the wide variety of activities on offer.
The Festival is setting aside its marquees and expanding into some outstanding spaces while remaining free of charge. BOZAR, the magnificent Palais des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles, will take part in the festivities by serving as a playground for the Brussels Comic Strip Festival in addition to Parc de Bruxelles.These two locations play off of each other very well due to their close proximity, making the Comic Strip Festival even better. It is on this dual playground that the Comic Strip Festival will set up the wide variety of activities that have made it famous: autographs, activities, conferences, workshops, exhibitions…
Highlights of the event include the Balloon’s Day Parade and the Comic strip car rally will take over the streets of Brussels for an unusual show. That’s what it takes to thrill our 100,000 loyal visitors!Baloon Day
The Route : Place des Palais -> Rue Ducale -> Rue de la Loi -> Rue des Colonies -> Place de l’Albertine -> Boulevard de l’Empereur -> Rue des Alexiens -> Rue des Bogaerds -> Boulevard Anspach -> the city Centre boulevards

Since its first running in 2013, the Tintin Magazine Rally has become an essential event at the Brussels Comic Strip Festival. This year the rally will take place once again and Tintin Magazine will host Spirou Magazine. In all, about 100 collectors’ cars will participate. In another significant new development, the event will start at four different locations: Lier, Verviers, Jumet, and Anderlecht.
