100 ans

On 30 March 2021, Brussels, Laeken, Neder-Over-Heembeek and Haren celebrated the 100th anniversary of their merger to form the City of Brussels as we know it today, with the Willebroeck canal as a rallying point.

This anniversary was celebrated for several months with a great deal of culture, folklore and solidarity thanks to numerous events highlighting the richness of the four municipalities.

Inhabitants, associations, cultural centres and other local actors took part in the festivities which centred on a unifying project which summed up the nature of our City: a multi-faceted capital, a city of sharing, and a global village.
