Bonfire of the carnival Princes

In Walloon rural folklore, bonfires remain a practice that is deeply rooted in our traditions.

They are the symbols of purification and the return of the light of spring.

It is with unchanged fervour that the Walloons gather every year around the mound of branches and fir trees on fire.

The party is in full swing until the final bouquet, the flight of the snowman in smoke, heralding the arrival of sunny days.

The carnival Princes invite you to join them on a torchlight procession before arriving at the bonfire, which will take place in the Evêts car park.

The meeting point is at Place du Bronze at 7 pm for the start of the walk.

We will then cross the Place du Bronze and the pedestrian zone to the sound of music before heading together to the bonfire.

7:30 pm: lighting of the bonfire by Prince carnival Hibou 1er.

9 pm: concert – sausage rolls, Purnalet, rum and coke, beers,…

Under a heated marquee.
