A great historic procession has been taking place for over 40 years on the first Sunday afternoon of September, evoking the history of this saint... in Saint-Hubert, 31/08 and 01/09/13.
His story starting from his conversion, the foundation of the abbey, the pilgrimage...
On Saturday, there are concerts and a mass in the Basilica. The highlight is the High Mass on Sunday in the presence of Belgian hunting parties, and foreign and Belgian horn blowers.
The mass ends with the blessing of the animals and the blessing and distribution of bread.
In the beginning of the afternoon there will be a great historical cortège (with floats, figures in period costumes), then a concert.
A story dating back over a millennium
In the 9th century the hunters chose St-Hubert to be their Patron Saint.
Not only is he called upon for a successful hunt but also for the protection of dogs and horses.
