    The Doudou — officially known as the “Ritual Ducasse of Mons” — is one of Belgium’s most important folk traditions and has been recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage since 2005. At the heart of this almost two-week event from May 27 to June 8, 2026, are four major events – the Descent of the Shrine of Saint Waudru, the Grand Procession, the Climb of the Famous Golden Carriage and the battle called Lumeçon.
