18.00 Opening Ceremony |
 |
The Opening Ceremony will take place in the beautiful
Saint-Giles Church in the northern part of Bruges. This will be a very
serene and formal moment, in the presence of international, national
and local officials.
We are very proud to have Camerata Aetas Nova
amongst us for the musical intermezzo, while they have been elected
Choir of the Year ! Our own LCI2010 committee member Isabelle Lievens
(responsible Tours & Pre Tours) makes part of this wonderful
singing team.

The Saint-Giles Church
is a 15th-century building. Inside are remarkable paintings, a 17th
century designed pulpit, several oak confessionals (1720), beautiful
decorated glass windows and a wooden statue of the patron saint of this
monumental church, St. Giles.
The main organ is considered one of the best in the city.

19.00 Welcome Parade |
 |
Let's parade
through Bruges ! After the Opening Ceremony all countries will line up
in alphabetical order (starting with LC Austria, finishing with LC
Zambia) and walk from the north of the city straight through the centre
to Old Saint John.
Imagine hundreds of ladies from all continents
walking through the historical streets and places... This
colourfull company will be guided by the LCI2010 committee members,
dressed in medieval costumes. A traditional horse carriage - carrying
the members of the LCI board - is going to precede the parade.
Tell us : don't you want to make part of this ?

Known
as the Venice of the North, Bruges is one of the most beautiful cities
in Europe. It was a justified motive that prompted UNESCO to include
the entire historical city centre on the World Heritage list.
In 2008 Trip Advisor travellers voted Bruges a top World destination : "A beautiful town, it's like a fairy tale".

19.45 Welcome Party
|
 |
Once arriving at Old Saint John, the welcome party
can start ! There will be delicious food and drinks, a live music band
and two handsome discjockeys. Our special Lady Chocolate choreographer
will teach all ladies the one and only Chocolate Dance.
You want to enjoy our Belgian gastronomy ? We've got it ! You would
like to talk and meet your international friends ? No worries ! You

The event center of Old Saint John
is located in a historical building, while it is an old hospital from
the 19th century (one of the first hospitals in Europe). The beautiful
garden overlooks the tower of Our Lady's Church. Here you can easily
chat with friends and enjoy the atmosphere.
