From July 2 to 19, 2026, the City of Brussels is transforming the Quai des Péniches into an urban home port with Quai d’Été. For 18 days, this summer meeting point right in the heart of Brussels will be open to everyone free of charge. The goal: to offer a holiday break for those staying in the city, to boost the canal district, and to provide a cultural and festive alternative for everyone who makes it their destination.

The event is built around three main offerings: – Sports & relaxation: cultural activities, mini-golf, petanque, children’s activities, Mölkky, urban tennis, trampoline, deckchairs… – Festive cruises: on board The Boat, enjoying Brussels DJ sets every day while cruising on the canal – Food & drinks: a bar with a continuous food service and plenty of convivial moments

Dates and opening hours From July 2 to 19, 2026 Monday to Thursday: 12:00 PM – 10:00 PM / Friday & Saturday: 12:00 PM – 11:00 PM Sunday: 11:00 AM – 9:00 PM Free entry – all activities on the quay are free to access
