Car Free Sunday: a creative and gourmet interlude for the family at Bozar

On Sunday 21 September, Brussels will breathe a different kind of air. The car-free streets are opening up to children, who are taking over the asphalt, their free steps writing a new map of the city. Bozar is seizing the opportunity to invite young and old alike to a convivial and festive gathering of food, culture and creativity.Discover all the activities to do with children on this car-free Sunday in Brussels.

Car Free Sunday 2025 invites us to rethink our relationship with food and the city. In collaboration with the European Beautifood project and the non-profit organisation Cultureghem, Bozar is organising an afternoon of workshops, shows and entertainment that take a simple, poetic look at what we eat and share. 

Flavours and colours in Rue Baron Horta 

From 1:00 pm, Rue Baron Horta will come alive with mobile kitchens serving up fresh smoothies and crêpes that foodies will love. Nearby, a workshop will invite visitors to create bunting for the MOBIL modular street furniture designed by Cultureghem. It’s a simple gesture to inhabit the city in a different way. 

Music and good food 

At 4:00 pm, a singing workshop will bring participants together around a melody that will come to life in the show Aubergine at 5:00 pm, in Salle Henry Le Bœuf. Claron McFadden will explore the cultural and culinary resonance of this vegetable, combining memory and flavours. 

Visual arts and dance 

At the same time, the exhibition John Baldessari. Parables, Fables, and Other Tall Tales will welcome visitors under 18 free of charge. For dance lovers, choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker will present Violin Phase. More than 40 years after its creation, the choreographer herself performs this iconic solo, alternating with one of the dancers from her company, Yuika Hashimoto. 

Open-air cinema on Bozar’s rooftop 

For this Car Free Sunday, Bozar is transforming its rooftop into an open-air cinema, free to access from 2pm to 9pm. A selection of cult films awaits you.
