On Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 October 2023, bring the kids to the Bourse de Commerce, Châtelet's cultural hub, for the second edition of the Family Weekend! On the program? Free entertainment, games and surprises for all ages.

In addition to the Rugby World Cup Final, this Saturday and Sunday, October 28 and 29, 2023, the Bourse de Commerce invites you to the Grand Mini Week-end 2023, a very special weekend, but above all, entirely free for families! A not-to-be-missed event during the All Saints' vacation 2023, to keep the kids (aged 6 to 12) busy and help them discover contemporary art through a program that's as fun as it is entertaining.

On the program for this kid-friendly event, the Bourse de Commerce is decked out inHalloween colors, and just what we needed: funny ghosts, friendly monsters and wacky objects have turned the museum upside down... All in all, a great playground right in the middle of the Bourse! To accompany your visit, a host of workshops, activities and games are on the program, free of charge and open to all, with the super team of mediators from the Bourse du Commerce! Make sure you reserve your place, though, as all activities are free, but places are limited!
