World Clean Up Day
Become part of a cleaner city
The Brussels Clean Festival is part of World Cleanup Day, from 17 to 21 September 2025. For five days, hundreds of Brussels residents will be mobilising to make the city cleaner and more pleasant.
Want to get involved? Request your free clean-up kit (vest, gloves and bag) before 3 September, clean up your street, neighbourhood or favourite park... and join the citizen movement!
But your commitment can go even further. Thanks to the Wake-Up Clean-Up programme, everyone can take action all year round: alone, with family, neighbours or colleagues. Every little bit helps!
The Brussels Clean Festival is a major annual celebration that honours all these local and civic initiatives.
It is a true collective celebration for the people of Brussels and those who are making a difference.
Ambassadors
Ambassadors in the spotlight
This year, the Brussels Clean Festival celebrates those who make a difference every day. Our Wake-Up Clean-Up ambassadors are being honored for their commitment to a cleaner and more welcoming city. A special area has been set up for them to chat with the public and take part in a photo booth. An awards ceremony will recognize their inspiring initiatives in a festive and appreciative atmosphere.
