Brussels Christmas tree, Christmas tree on Grand-Place, Belgium
The central Christmas tree stands 20 meters tall in front of the Town Hall, forming a centerpiece of winter celebrations in Brussels.
The tradition of placing real Christmas trees from the Ardennes forest or international locations on Grand-Place began before the controversial abstract installation of 2012.
The tree decorations change annually, with the 2024 edition featuring elephant ornaments connected to a charitable partnership with Make-A-Wish foundation.
Visitors can watch the illuminated tree from November 29 until January 5 through a dedicated webcam positioned at the Grand-Place.
After the winter season ends, the Nordmann fir from Rixensart transforms into various objects, extending its purpose beyond the holiday period.
