The Kermesse de Waimes is a traditional village festival held every first weekend of September 1. It is organized by the local community in and around the Waimes football field (terrain de football) and nearby halls. The four-day event typically includes outdoor games, a dance hall evening on Saturday, a farmers’ market and children’s funfair on Sunday, and a family day Monday. It attracts families from the surrounding Ardennes villages for local music, food and friendly competitions 1.
Waimes, a historic village in eastern Wallonia, maintains this annual fair as part of its parish and civic tradition. Such kermesses celebrate the town’s patron saint and community spirit. The Waimes kermesse blends local Germanic and Walloon influences (the town is officially bilingual), with music and foods reflecting the region’s cultural mix. It serves as a summer social highlight after the harvest season.
