Belgian National Day in Cape Town! 🇧🇪

On 21 July, together with Be Social - the informal network of Belgians and friends of Belgium in the Cape - the Consulate General of Belgium had the pleasure of hosting and celebrating Belgian National Day at Woodstock Brewery in Cape Town🍻. Many fellow Belgians and friends of Belgium joined and enjoyed our favorite traditional Belgian food. 🎶🍟🍺

Belgium’s National Day commemorates the taking of the oath of our first king, Leopold I, on 21 July 1831 following Belgium’s independence which was declared on 4 October 1830. 👑

This informal event organized for the Belgian community and friends of Belgium was an excellent occasion for Consul General Nicolas Fierens Gevers to underline that Belgium continues to proudly fly its colours in Cape Town and the surrounding region across the economic, academic, cultural and gastronomic spheres! 🇧🇪🫱🏼‍🫲🏽🇿🇦

Dankje- Merci- Danke, to all of you who celebrated and honored our heritage on this special day. We hope to see you again soon, and as we say in Belgium: tot ziens, à bientôt, bis bald! 🖤💛❤️

Across the country, Belgians mark this special day with official ceremonies, military and civilian parades, concerts, community celebrations, and spectacular fireworks. 🎶🎆
