Join us to celebrate the ancient Celtic Festival of Lammas, Lughnasa or Lughnasadh, a celebration of the summer and the gathering of the first harvest. Lammas is a Saxon word meaning ‘Loaf-mass’, and Lughnasadh (pronounced Loo-nas-ah) is Irish Gaelic. At Lammas, fires were lit to honour the corn mother as she gives birth to her harvest child, the grain, who will sustain life over the winter.

This year, the Open Monuments Weekend is entirely devoted to the Caesar festivities. The festivals that are only organized once every 25 years, in Velzeke! They go back to the origins of Belgium. Historical figures were - literally and figuratively - placed on a pedestal. In 1873 Velzeke unpacks with a suit of armor in honor of Julius Caesar.
