<strong>28/05/2012 ></strong> PARADE OF JEAN-JEAN DU BALLON

Following the emergency landing of a hot-air balloon in their little village around 1850, the inhabitants decided to commemorate this auspicious event in the history of the Land of Hills with an annual "ducasse". As a festival of beer, ham and maton tart, this occasion also allows for an international fanfare of brass bands, wind sectons, floats, giants, (one of which is the famous Jean-Jean representing none other than the mayor at those times), and a multitude of groups forming a long multi-coloured procession which sets off from the village of Guinaumont at around 3 pm to the centre of Ellezelles. It is there that after the final rondeau, the traditional ascension of Jean-Jean du Ballon will take place, who will be lifted over a fire of straw in the balloon's wicker basket.

<strong>28/05/2012 ></strong> PROCESSION OF SAINTE-ROLENDE

This march is one of the most important as well as one of the longest and most popular of all the processions of Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse : it starts very early in the morning at 2 am to the sound of fifes and drums and continues until dusk. From 4 am to 6 pm this folkloric parade which is made up of some three thousand marchers dressed in Napoleonic costumes and representing a considerable number of different military companies, makes its way through a total of ten villages. The grand finale is when the procession enters the streets of the centre of Gerpinnes at around 6 pm.

<strong>28/05/2012 ></strong> TOUR SAINT-VINCENT - HISTORIC PROCESSION

Back in town, at around 11 am, the reliquaries are included in a historical and imposing procession. Eight hundred superbly costumed participants (of which seventy are on horseback) re-enact the life of the Saint and the homage paid to him through the centuries.

<strong>28/05/2012>29/05/2012 ></strong> PROCESSION OF THE PUCELETTE AND PEREGRINATION OF WASMES

The procession of the Pucelette originates from a twelfth century legend in which it is told that the Lord Gilles of Chin fought a dragon that was wreaking havoc and destruction in the region, attacking men and animals, and saved a young maiden, (Pucelette), held prisoner by the beast. The procession of Wasmes, which is one of the main processions in the region of Mons, seems to retrace the route the injured dragon took before it died. During Whitsun Monday, the procession escorts the statue of Our Lady of Wasmes on a 17 km peregrination. There are many different activities and events taking place on that same day in Wasmes and in the surrounding communes.
