Take a walk into culture at Brussels' Zinneke Parade

The Zinneke Parade full of 4000 participants is an artistic display of the latest creations combining contemporary and local work.

Referred to as a "street opera" the parade occurs once every two years and is taking place on 8 May this year.

Zinneke includes a number of artistic types and crafts, appealing to everyone no matter what their tastes.

Workshops to help create items for the event go on for months beforehand to help create the spectacular show of different artworks that usually sees the streets lined with around 3,000 spectators.

This year's theme is The Body in the City and is part of Brussels' City of Culture scheme.
