Wilrijk district in the city of Antwerp

Wilrijk (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈʋɪlˌrɛi̯k]; former, original spelling: Wilrijck) is a district of the municipality and city of Antwerp in the Belgian province of Antwerp. Wilrijk had been a separate municipality before January 1, 1983; the enlarged municipality of Antwerp was decentralized in 2000 and Wilrijk became one of the city's nine districts.

This suburb is also known as the Goat village, because of its Goat parade. Every five years, this parade attracts many tourists. The next one will be held in 2025.
