Japan
Following the Ommegang’s participation in the Osaka World Expo 2025, strong ties were forged with the Land of the Rising Sun.
It is therefore only natural that Japan will be honoured this year at the heart of our festivities.
Before each performance, spectators will have the privilege of discovering a unique pre-show celebrating the richness and elegance of Japanese culture: ancestral traditions, arts, music and emblematic performances will open the evening in an immersive and refined atmosphere.
An exceptional encounter between two living heritages, where the soul of Brussels will meet the magic of Japan to offer the public an unforgettable 2026 edition.
