epa10821420 A beach bar worker arranges mattresses as more than 45,000 people have signed up on social media to virtually visit the Belgian coastal town on Saturday "in shorts and with a cooler”, in Knokke, Belgium, 26 August 2023. After two local women voiced their displeasure with tourists who ’show up in shorts’ and ‘bring coolers’ instead of dining at restaurants, someone created a Facebook event encouraging people to wear shorts and bring a cooler to Knokke.  By 24 August, over 45,000 individuals had registered up for the event to visit the Belgian coastal town in 'shorts and with a cooler' on 26 August but on the same day only a few people showed in person and most seem to have signed up only virtually.
