It is a philanthropic association combining tradition and altruism that organizes the Giants'outings during the holidays. Profits are used to help the poorest. The five giants of the commune therefore work for the good cause, already that they remain at the municipal museum all year round. The feast of the Friends of Tisje-Tasje is held on the first weekend of July, the occasion to prove that tradition can still be continued today. Tisje-Tasje is the name of the main giant of the commune, representing Jean-Baptiste Vangrevelinghe - th century. He was a writer and poet and became one of the most ardent local artists of Flanders. His Giant, Tisje-Tasje, dates back to 1947. Toria is the wife of Tisje-Tasje, created in 1960 by the Couple couple already at the origin of the first Giant. It is more a representation of Flemish women than a wife of Jean-Baptiste Vangrevelinghe, who was married twice. On the other hand, their children, Babe Tisje and Zoon Tisje, came from Jean-Baptiste: A girl, born in 1980 wearing a hare in her basket and a boy, the spirit of the Flemish Party, waffle and reel. Roland d'Hazebrouck is a separate case. He represents a seigneur of the th century and has also become one of the region's emblematic giants. It dates from 1931 but differs from the family by its motor vehicle: it is towed and not worn, it is also for this reason that it leaves only twice in the year, in half-lent and at the Giants Carnival.
