    BRUSSELS ROLLER PARADE Friday nights, in July and August If the weather is mild, here is the friendliest of invasions. By the thousands, skaters meet at Place Poelaert to take Avenue Louise to the Bois de la Cambre. From there, Avenue Roosevelt leads them to the Boitsfort racecourse, along a route exclusively reserved for them. Back to the starting point for a break and refreshments, before the party continues around the Halles Saint-Géry... often late into the night. It's up to you to get on your wheels too and join this band of merry fellows... www.brusselsrollers.com
