I party, you party... They party

The King and his family will be present in full attendance during the two-day festivities. Depending on the interests of each family member, we will see them appear in various locations. Below is an overview of their appreciated presence. JULY 20 From 11:00 to 11:45, our Sovereigns will attend the opening concert of the King's feasts, featuring conductor Dirk Brossé and the orchestra Prima La Musica. This concert takes place in the inner courtyard of the Egmont Paleis, with around 200 seats provided. Dirk Brossé pays tribute to the King with a new composition titled "Sire". Who else than our Prins Laurent will cheer on the skaters? We can likely expect him at the departure of the Roller-parade at 12:30 at the Blijde Inkomstlaan, Schumanplein side. Our Crown Prince wants to join the bicycle parade; he will do part of the ride that starts at the Hertogstraat at 14:00. Exactly where he joins the cyclists remains a surprise. We expected nothing less: the King himself will witness the start of the motorcycle parade at 14:00 on the Eeuwfeestlaan, near the Atomium. Since children are important in the whole event, Prinses Astrid and her husband Prins Lorenz will also head out with their offspring to help animate the Cirque du Trottoir on the Breugelplein, somewhere between 14:00 and 18:00. The entire Royal Family wishes to welcome a large number of Belgians from all walks of life during the garden party in Laken from 16:00 to 18:30. Here too, Dirk Brossé will provide the musical framing featuring the King's favorite music. In the evening as well, the Royal Family will be present in full at the Paleis voor Schone Kunsten for a classical concert. (These two activities are by invitation of the provincial governors only). Prins Laurent and Prinses Claire still vividly remember the enthusiasm that their marriage sparked in the Marollenwijk. They will therefore not miss the Volksbal on the Vossenplein. They are expected there around 23:00.
