Very popular in the Eastern Townships, it is renowned for its multi-day nature. Its name speaks for itself: "les jours fous" (the crazy days)! Women have the honor of opening the ball with "Women's Thursday". On this day, women take over and parade joyously through the streets. This is followed by the Sunday festivities, when Prince Carnaval receives the keys to the city, and the Rosenmontag (Rose Monday), which precedes Mardi Gras: the high point of the Eupen carnival, with floats, fancy dress parades...

A unique marathon: 42.195 km (exactly) of running, but not only! The Beer Lover's Marathon invites all running fans, but also beer lovers or anyone who wants to have a good time. Beer tastings are organised along the route, as well as tastings of local products, DJs, runners in costume and more. Each year, 1,500 runners gather to take part in this festive, er, sorry, sporting event!
