Walloon Festivals 12 - 22 September 2025

 

Created in 1923, the Walloon Festival celebrates patriotism and Walloon consciousness by commemorating the days of September 1830.

Present throughout the south of the country, they are experiencing truly spectacular success in Namur where more than 250,000 people invade the city for a weekend.

Festival and traditions

Among the main events in Namur, we will remember, among others, the mass in Walloon on Monday morning, moving and funny, and the frairie des Masuis and Cotelis Jambois, whose ancient dance tradition is as famous in Belgium as it is abroad. .

On Sunday afternoon, on Place Saint-Aubain, don’t miss the famous Stilt Joust, an almost sacred and extremely ancient tradition of Namur life.

Take part in this great celebration in the Walloon capital!
