✨ Saturday Night at Brussels Diwali Festival 🇮🇳

Join The Mixer for a colourful evening at the Brussels Diwali Festival — a chance to experience Indian culture, music, dance and flavours while meeting an international crowd in one of Brussels’ most iconic settings.

Come alone or bring a friend. The idea is simple: meet new people, discover something together and enjoy the evening. ✨

🌟 Experience Overview

For its 10th edition, the Brussels Diwali Festival brings the Festival of Lights to the Atomium esplanade under the 2026 theme “Culture United.”

The official programme brings together Indian communities and performers for an evening featuring classical and Bollywood dance, Hindustani and Carnatic music, folk performances, the Brides of India fashion show, cultural activities and a food village showcasing regional Indian cuisine.

We’ll experience the evening as a Sunday Vacations community — meeting first, making introductions and exploring the festival together.

We’ll start with introductions so nobody has to arrive wondering who to talk to.

We’ll head into the festival and discover the performances, lights and cultural programme.

19:15 onwards — Food, music & social time

Explore the food village, try something new, watch performances and get to know the group.

This is a relaxed evening rather than a tightly scheduled tour. You’re free to move around, join different people from the group and experience the festival at your own pace.

Later — Enjoy the evening atmosphere

Stay with the group for the music, lights and Saturday-night celebrations, or leave whenever it suits you.

The official festival programme is subject to the external organiser’s schedule.
