The essential
— The turkey feast
Introduced by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey of Licques during the 17th century, turkeys are the stars of these essential festivities in the festive calendar of the region.
Tradition and authenticity emanate from this festival, particularly in December to taste the Licquoise hotpot prepared in the cauldron by the breeders, following which, young and old, will take pleasure in following the procession of the local brotherhoods, led by the herd of turkeys. The party will then continue with a dancing meal to the rhythm of the accordion.
