Brussels mayor Philippe Close made an appeal to unvaccinated people on Monday evening at the city council of the city of Brussels not to come to Winter Fun and the Brussels Christmas market. Many visitors are expected and that can be a risk for people who are less well protected.

The Winter Fun event, with its Christmas market and ice skating rinks, will continue as usual. To gain access to the drinks, food and souvenir stands, you as a visitor need a wristband that you have received a valid Covid Safe Ticket. This is the only way to eat, buy and buy at the many stands. All of which are in public space.

“It is impossible to close the entire public space. If you are not vaccinated, we advise you to come to Winterpret. There will be a crowd present, certainly other Christmas markets are cancelled. So the unvaccinated are taking a big risk,” said the mayor of Brussels on Monday evening.

The tapes can be picked up at a dozen places in the city. A band for one day. There will be a test center on the ground floor of the Viage casino on the Anspachlaan in the pedestrian zone.
Alcohol is normally prohibited in the pedestrian zone and in many surrounding streets, but this does not apply to events. Opposition member David Weytsman (MR) is satisfied that Winter Fun will continue, but does have questions about the enforcement of the various rules.
“The trader must also be aware that they have a responsibility. If they don’t check the tapes thoroughly, they risk being banned from Winter Fun,” his mayor Close.
