Belgian Club of Northern California

A SOCIAL CLUB OF BELGIANS AND FRIENDS

Welcome to BCNC

The Belgian Club of Northern California (BCNC) is a non-profit organization that brings together Belgians living in and around the San Francisco Bay Area.

BCNC offers a welcoming space to connect with fellow Belgians and friends, celebrate our culture, share traditions, enjoy Belgian cuisine, and exchange stories from home. Some members have called Northern California home for many years, while others have only recently arrived for studies or work.

Everyone is welcome — and friends are warmly invited to join us at any of our events!
