About the event

To round off a month of festivities, Dinant Lumière holds a closing evening built around illuminated processions. Folk groups and local brotherhoods march in light-up costumes, joined by the Veneurs de la Meuse with their hunting horns. The parade lasts about an hour and, according to the organiser's programme, ends with a finale on Place Saint-Nicolas. It is a last chance to see the town and its illuminated landmarks before the decorations come down. Tip: stand near Place Saint-Nicolas for the finale and wrap up warm, as the evening starts late.
