📍 Beaumont, Belgium
📅 Sunday, 5 October 2025

This Sunday, Beaumont transforms into a medieval town for La Légende de Beaumont - one of Belgium’s most vibrant historical festivals.
Beaumont doesn’t just remember its past - it performs it. Costumes, keys of the city, oaths on the Grand’Place, flag-throwers and fire shows: a town rehearsing its origin story to turn strangers into a “we.” It’s folklore with purpose-part celebration, part civic glue-and fun to watch.

👉 Important note: I will not be present at this event. I’m simply sharing it because it’s an amazing experience worth discovering. Those interested can connect through the WhatsApp group to sort out transport and meet-ups. It’s a self-guided outing.
