Hours: Opening hours: 5 pm to 10 pm, every 30 minutes
Location: Grand-Place

Every winter, the Grand-Place of Brussels lights up with a spectacular sound and light show that has become one of the highlights of Winter Wonders. In 2025, the City of Brussels invites you to discover a new creation by Camille Gross, Olivier Magermans and Sébastien Riquelme, produced by Electroson Studio with the support of Proximus. The show begins with a brand-new two-minute laser sequence, a ballet of light beams and shapes that fills the square with vibrant energy. This is followed by Echoes of Colours, a five-minute video  mapping projection on the City Hall tower. The show is a powerful celebration of colour, transforming it into a living, breathing substance. In this dreamlike universe, the tower becomes a playground: it appears to float, shatter like glass, or bloom with glowing vegetation. The projection ends in a dazzling burst of colour and light that magnifies the monument’s height, accompanied by a synchronised soundtrack that deepens the emotion of the moment.   Experience a magical and immersive moment where art, light and music come together to illuminate the heart of Brussels.
