Brussels has agreed on a new date for a second car-free Sunday after the original proposal clashed with Mother's Day.
Brussels Transport Minister Elke Van den Brandt (Groen) has pushed for a second annual car-free Sunday for quite some time.
The event was originally scheduled to take place during the Iris Festival, which celebrates the Brussels-Capital Region each year around 8 May.
Because next year's Iris Festival weekend coincides with Mother's Day, residents and traders are opposing the idea. The regional government has therefore opted for 2 May 2027 instead, according to Le Soir.
The proposal still requires approval from the capital's 19 municipalities.
