Brussels Zuidfoor: Record Million Visitors Return Post-Corona

Today is the last day for the Brussels Zuidfoor. According to the cabinet of Brussels alderman for Economic Affairs Fabian Maigain (Défi), the fair attracted more than a million visitors between July 15 and August 20.

The final assessment of the Brussels Zuidfoor edition 2023 will only be made on Monday.

On August 17, 972,355 visitors were already registered. The majority of the visitors came from Brussels. Only 109,972 visitors came from outside Brussels. Brussels residents from within the pentagon in particular flocked to the fairground attractions.

The best days for the fairground vendors were by far 20 and 21 July, when more than 45,000 visitors visited the fair. The fair was most popular in the evening. Between 20:00 and 22:00, the fair vendors received the most visitors every day.

Compared to previous years, the 2023 edition of the Brussels Zuidkermis is clearly a success. In 2021 and 2022, the Zuidfoor could only attract 500,496 and 663,139 visitors. This year there is a provisional total of 972,355 visitors, a figure that is getting closer to the 1,122,974 visitors from 2019.

‘Better balance’


The Zuidfoor followed the protest of local residents against an announced exception to the noise standards. A dozen local residents eventually went to the Council of State, but mayor Philippe Close eventually withdrew the exception due to an administrative error.

Ships Maingain is in any case very satisfied with the latest edition of the Zuidfoor. “For the first time since the corona crisis, we have passed the milestone of one million visitors. Many Belgians have come to the Zuidkermis, also thanks to the good weather,” says the ships.

According to Maingain, the 2023 edition “has been a very good edition”. According to him, civil and neighborhood organizations and Brussels Environment also believe that “a better balance has been found between the experience of the fair and the prevention of noise nuisance”.

According to Maingain, “there were no violations of the noise regulations, although there were still some problems with some attractions.” There were also fewer problems in terms of safety than in previous years, Maingain believes.
