    Pity: the parade announced for April 18th was cancelled. But don't worry, the summer will be hot on rollers. Not only will there be a new parade (date to be confirmed), but rides will also be organized between Place Poelaert and the Saint-Géry Halls: every Friday from 05/07 to 30/08 (except in case of rain), from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM. These activities on wheels clearly deserve their place in our big cities. The opposite would be a shame: after all, it was a resident of Huy, John Joseph Merlin, who came up with the first pair of rollers in... 1760 (www.roller-service.com/historique).

Besides a new parade (date to be confirmed), rides will take place every Friday, from 05/07 to 30/08 (except in case of rain), from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM, between Place Poelaert (Law Courts) and the Saint-Géry Halls. These outdoor activities represent an initiative that truly has its place in our big cities. It would be a height of irony: it was a citizen of Huy, John Joseph Merlin, who devised the first pair of rollers in... 1760 (www.roller-service.com/historique).
