Grote Markt, Central square in Hasselt, Belgium
The Grote Markt features an irregular layout with buildings displaying neoclassical facades and modern elements around the perimeter of the open space.
Initially named Op den marct around 1300, this square developed at the intersection of four main roads leading to the city gates of Hasselt.
The square hosts the Meiavondviering celebration each April 30, marking spring arrival with traditional ceremonies and community gatherings.
Recent renovations introduced new pavement, lighting systems, and seating areas, transforming the space into a pedestrian-focused central gathering location.
The MarktFest event series occurs every Friday evening during summer months, presenting local music performances and food offerings from neighboring establishments.
