Maatjesfestival 2025!

Maatjesfestival

Are you joining us to the 21st edition of our annual Maatjesfestival? On Sunday 22 June, we will once again transform Sint-Katelijneplein into a true folk festival!

Come taste the delicious new buddies, dance and sing along to classics played by the Swing Shift Band and, above all, enjoy a great day among (Mer du Nord) friends!
The Maatjesfestival is an annual event to celebrate the arrival of the new herring. The event is organised on Brussels’ Saint Catherine Square and is free to all ages. The event starts at 2pm and ends at 6pm.
