The annual three-day Brussels beer fest begins the last day of August in the city’s central square, the Grand Place.

More than 450 varieties are brewed in Belgium, and many will be available in the center of the city Aug. 31-Sept. 2. Jazz and brass bands typically perform.

On Sept. 1, old brewery carts and beer wagons will be on display in the morning followed by a 1 p.m. procession. Beer stands close at 10 p.m.
