For the summer months, the Leopoldpark is transformed into a real belle époque park with an outdoor exhibition, photo frames, cosy lighting and music from the era. Nine story poles here and there tell the story of Belle. In the last week of August, a colourful carpet of flowers will brighten up the Leopoldpark, in addition to the well-known flower parade.

Fan of mystery and suspense? In a virtual city (murder) game, the murder mystery surrounding Belle is central. The game has been developed in four languages and will run until August 2022 via Facebook Messenger. Want to take part? All you need is a smartphone. After you have registered via the app, you will receive a code. This will guide you through riddles and assignments to ten places in Blankenberge. Together with your family you can solve a more than 100 year old mystery in Blankenberge. Exciting!

In the middle of the 19th century, Blankenberge made the transition from a small fishing town to a vibrant seaside city. The Bruges–Blankenberge railway line stimulated in 1863 the breakthrough of the city as a tourist resort. Villas, hotels and beautiful public buildings such as the casino, emerged rapidly. All this, however, had an impact on the lives of the fishermen.
