Peace flag colors Grote Markt Ypres

More than 100 activists, mostly young people, wore the giant cloth and brought a message of peace. Since the First World War left Ypres in ruins, wars have continued to this day. Just as happened in Bosnia-Herzegovina during the Balkan War, Ypres now chooses the weapon of music out of solidarity with Ukraine. Anyone can apply to make an artistic contribution on a Thursday evening under the Nieuwerck, next to the Cloth Hall. The peace flag is the largest rainbow flag in the world and took 30 seamstresses over 200 hours to make.
