MILITARY MARCH OF ST ROCH

Every year this traditional procession invades the streets and country lanes of this village in Hainault. The procession, made up of different marching associations, departs from the castle at around noon and returns four hours later. It takes along the Saint's reliquary. On its route pauses and a bivouac are foreseen. The following Sunday, Monday and Tuesday groups of marchers and drummers will stride through the village. Each day ends at around 9 pm with a torchlight procession from the castle to the Grand-Place where all the individual torches feed the great fire around which people can dance until 10 pm.

The procession sets off from the castle at around noon. The festivities continue until around 10 pm.
This march has been proclaimed "masterpiece of oral and immaterial heritage of the French-speaking Community".
