BANAD Festival
//= $catTxt; ?>For its 9th edition, the BANAD Festival celebrates the 100th anniversary of Art Deco. A unique opportunity to visit places that are usually not accessible to the public. The Brussels Art Nouveau Art Deco Festival invites you to (re)discover various neighborhoods of Brussels through the lens of architecture and its iconic styles. As a natural part of the Art Deco year 2025, organized in the Brussels-Capital Region, and in honor of the centenary of the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris, the program of this edition shines a spotlight on this iconic style phenomenon. This is achieved, among other things, by opening the doors to private residences that are often rarely accessible. Spread over three weekends (March 15 & 16, 22 & 23, and 29 & 30, 2025) and three geographical areas of the Brussels-Capital Region, the BANAD Festival offers a rich program. It includes visits to more than sixty interiors (some of which are accessible for the first time ever), thematic walking or cycling tours, original lectures, inclusive and family-friendly activities, and not to forget the famous Object Fair and the Salon of restorers and experts.
The BANAD Festival is organized by Explore.Brussels, a network of quality guided tour associations active in the Brussels-Capital Region (ARAU, Arkadia, Bruxelles Bavard, Pro Velo).
