The good weather appears to coming around. Here are a few places to soak up the sun and keep the whole family amused.ANTWERP
Summer of Antwerp 2011 from 1 July till 30 August
Zomer van Antwerpen is an exuberant summer season which pops up at the most unexpected places in July and August and which can be felt throughout the city. Check out the free concerts on several city squares, or the circus workshops for children. Go relax with your friends at the "Summer bar in the Woods" -- the central heart of the festival -- enjoying a sunny drink or snack.
The Square Merry-go-round spins all summer long, for young and old, on the Astridplein. The grandest merry-go-round ever, for all ages, from the designer of the Giant and the Elephant, François Delarozière! Ride a mega-sized buffalo with the entire family; fish's heads that take you sky-high and insects spinning merrily. And you can steer them, moving their ears and tails and wings!
BLANKENBERGE
Sandsculpture festival from 10 June to 12 September. This year the international Sand Sculpture Festival in Blankenberge is proud to announce a world first: its own unique interpretation of Disneyland® Paris. A fascinating adventure, a surprise-packed voyage of discovery in the fantastic world of ... sand.
Every year a stretch of the port promenade is given over to a beach 1 July to 7 August 2011. The kids can cool down on water slides or learn how to climb. And adults can sit back in the sun, sipping a Cuba Libre. www.bruxelleslesbains.be

Solvay Park/Folon Foundation
The famous Belgian artist Jean-Michel Folon put more than 500 just twenty minutes outside of Brussels, in the farm of the castle of La Hulpe. This charming and characteristic building in the middle of the marvellous Solvay Park is home to more than 40 years of creation.
Watercolours, engravings, posters and sculptures are presented in an original and lively setting, creating a dialogue between the works of art and the poetic place that houses them. Music, films and optical effects enliven the route. The result is a strong, magical and astonishing exhibition.
