Ducasse

This past weekend I went down to Ath in Belgium to watch their famous parade. The main feature is the collection of giants that go down the streets. People wear these 15ft tall costumes and dance around. There are also lots of bands and giant floats going by. It was by far the longest parade I have ever watched; it took nearly three hours to go by. I thought it was really fun as the crowd was mostly locals and they were all in a really festive spirit. So, if you're ever around Ath in August, swing by.



The pictures are here.
