Tintin festival
This very first Tintin Festival both precedes and prolongs the festivities of the Belgian national holiday on July 21st celebrating the 175th anniversary of the kingdom of Belgium. In a convivial atmosphere, the Festival will cater for families as well as for smaller groups of well-informed Tintin lovers. Staged in various locations throughout Brussels, the events and activities will also allow the visitors to discover the native city of Tintin and Hergé, to experience Hergé's work from its foundations and to observe in the streets the mark left by the young reporter and his friends.
