Just sharing my local folkloric heritage across the oceans

Kind of event happening every week-end, from may to september, in one village or another around here. Gerpinnes' Ste Rolende Pentecote March is one of the biggest, gathering more than 4000 'soldiers'. I took some mood pictures during the event.

Unfortunately we had to break through two rain & thunder storms during the same day, first one was especially violent and the worst I had to face out of a Building :P and the companies were less beautiful, but we made it to the end.

Uniforms are mostly of napolenic origin or folkloric uniforms derivated from 1st, 2d empire and early belgian army uniforms, but the tradition actually comes and lives from the end of the middle age.

Our tradition is know granted by UNESCO as part of the mankind's intangible cultural heritage: http://www.unesco.org/culture/ich/index.php?lg=en&pg=00011&RL=00670

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."

On the road again with the village of Oret's zouaves and algerian tirailleurs. Folkloric procession but also reenactement of the 1914 battle of Wagnee.
