Belgian Days gives town park continued life

It rocks three days every July, but the legacy of Belgian Days in Brussels ensures you have a beautiful park to visit the rest of the year. The Brussels Lions Club hosts its annual Belgian Days this weekend as its only fundraiser of the year. Much of the money made during the event gets invested in the festival's home at Brussels Town Park. In the past year, a new park entrance and pickleball courts have been added in addition to other improvements. Brussels Lions Club member Jared Spude says the organization has upped its game not just to put on the best Belgian Days possible but also to have a larger impact on the park and in the community.

Spude says that in the future, they hope to use the success of Belgian Days and the help from other community partners to fund improvements to the park's restroom facilities. Belgian Days runs Friday through Sunday, and highlights include live music, food, and a baseball tournament all three days, the Saturday run/walk, and the Sunday parade.
