Amazing Asia 2026 in Brussels: dates, tickets and what to expect at Tour and Taxis

Amazing Asia 2026, Brussels’ pan-Asian festival, takes over Tour and Taxis from Friday 6 to Sunday 8 November 2026, with street food, crafts, martial arts, lion dances and fire shows, according to visit.brussels.

For newcomers from Asia, it is a taste of home. For everyone else, it is an easy family day out in one of Brussels’ best-known event spaces.

When is Amazing Asia open?

Opening hours, as listed by visit.brussels:

• Friday 6 November: 5pm to 10pm
• Saturday 7 November: 11am to 10pm
• Sunday 8 November: 11am to 8pm.

The Play Area, where trading-card players meet, closes earlier at the weekend: 7pm on both Saturday and Sunday, according to the Amazing Asia Brussels page.

How much are tickets?

These are the prices on the Amazing Asia tickets page. Online prices exclude service and bank charges.

• Full-day ticket (Saturday or Sunday): €11 online, €13 on the door
• Night Market ticket: €7 online, €8 on the door. It covers 5pm to closing, and it is the only ticket on Friday
• Children under 12: free, but you still need to select a ticket for them when you book
• Ages 12 to 22: pay full price, but full-day tickets include a €4 drink voucher.

Workshops are booked separately through the festival’s workshop voucher shop, linked from the tickets page. The website is in English, French and Dutch. Note that the festival’s FAQ page still quotes a €10 ticket price; the tickets page is the more detailed and up-to-date source, so go by that.

What is on?

• On stage: acrobats, taiko drums, a lion dance and dragon, fire shows, K-pop dance crews and martial arts demonstrations such as taekwondo, kung fu and muay thai

How do I get to Tour and Taxis?

The festival is in the main hall at Tour and Taxis, Avenue du Port 86C in the City of Brussels. The Amazing Asia Brussels page lists these options:

What should I know before I go?

According to the festival’s FAQ:

• No re-entry: once you leave, you cannot come back in on the same ticket. There is a smoking area outside
• Paying: pay at the bars by card or contactless, or buy tokens at the till if you want to use cash. Pay food and market stalls directly
• Dogs and cats: welcome, as long as they are on a lead
• Staying over: the partner hotel, Moxy Brussels City Center, offers festival visitors 15% off through a link on the festival website.

Is it good for newcomers?

Yes. It is open to all ages, the organisers say it is aimed at people who know Asia and those who do not, and it is a relaxed way to meet people at a weekend. Just moved to Brussels?
