The Binche carnival, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage event, is the biggest and the liveliest annual event in Belgium. Up to 1,000 Gilles gather in the city centre of Binche, wearing a hat covered with ostrich feathers and a red, yellow and black medieval costume hung with bells and decorated with fluffy lace at the neck, wrists and ankles.
