The Fêtes de Wallonie in Namur is an annual five-day festival celebrating the identity and heritage of the Wallonia region 1. Each third weekend of September (Thursday to Monday) the city hosts a series of folk events, parades, and over 150 open-air concerts on the Grand-Place and surrounding squares 1. Families attend traditional music, dancing, and artisan craft displays, culminating in the famous “Lundi des Namurois” street party where the Walloon flag is raised in the city streets.
Namur is the capital of Wallonia, and local Walloons take pride in this festival as a symbol of regional heritage. Activities include homages to local historical figures and celebrations of Walloon folklore. It reinforces Walloon language and traditions in an urban setting 1.
