La Boum, 2021
“La Boum” is a clandestine party that took place on 1 April and 1 May 2021 in the Bois de la Cambre in Brussels.
It started as a Facebook event announcing a festival: a joke on the occasion of April 1st. Thousands of people gathered to celebrate after a year of health crisis.
The situation quickly degenerated into a confrontation, after the police tried to evacuate the crowd, facing partygoers who were determined to stay in place.
