Belgian traditions 🇧🇪 Caught the Meyboom 2026 celebration right in the heart of Brussels 📍 Grand-Place ✨
The Meyboom is a centuries-old Brussels tradition dating back to the Middle Ages, centred around the annual planting of the “tree of joy” 🌳 Every year on August 9, the tree must be planted before 5 PM, a tradition documented since 1308 and recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity ✨🇧🇪
A truly unique piece of Brussels folklore! 💛
