9 May is Europe Day. Celebrated alongside the Iris Festival, it highlights unity, solidarity and diversity. This day traditionally commemorates the Schuman Declaration of 9 May 1950, which laid the foundations of the European Union we know today.
In Brussels, this double event reflects the European spirit at the heart of the capital, combining culture, citizenship and conviviality.
See inside some of the EU’s most iconic buildings, meet the teams, and enjoy fun activities that bring EU work and priorities to life. Starting at 10:00, activities will run throughout the day, and include games, quizzes, interactive stands, shows, and entertainment for everyone.
It doesn’t stop there. Celebrate into the evening and experience the sound of Europe with the Iris Tipik Electro Night (from 19:00).
