The winter fun festival was occurred from November 27, 2015 to March 1, 2016. I was so lucky that I arrived on November 27, 2015 and could celebrate the fest. Also, I was lucky that they opened the city from the lock-down the day after I arrived. Part of the fest just located in front of the hotel I stayed, Marriott Hotel. I saw that lots of people were getting ready to open their stands during day time. Lots of military soldiers were there for security and they were tighten the security by putting a fence around the fest and check everyone belongings before entered the fest.

Brilliant post! I recently got my Belgium visa UK after taking the help of a trusted consultancy. Since then, I have been searching for some informative articles that give suggestions on places to visit and things to do in Belgium. That is when one of my friends shared your blog. I will be taking some suggestions from your blog to curate a nice short travel itinerary that will help me to experience the best of Belgium.
