With spicy aromas, gourmet buffets and postcard decor, Saint-Nicolas is set to bring Brussels to life. From December 3, 2025, the Great Saint will be meeting families at three festive stops: a colorful break at the Great Market, a sweet brunch at the Chairman, and a magical stop on the Grand-Place, at the Chaloupe d’Or. If you’re a fan of sunny markets, hearty brunches or Brussels traditions to enjoy with the whole family, these events promise to be a concentrate of magic and conviviality.
1. Mediterranean St. Nicholas at the Great Market
This year, the Great Saint is making two sunny stops at the Great Market! Between the scents of the South and the colorful stalls, young and old alike will be able to share two great moments of good cheer with him. Also on the program: a drawing competition to give free rein to children’s creativity – all in an atmosphere as warm as it is family-friendly.
