No St. Martin's Day procession, but adapted light projection in Ardooie.

In Ardooie this weekend is all about Saint Martin. Even though the traditional St. Martin's Day procession will not be held this year, there will be an adapted light projection on the church tower for five days.

The Sint-Maartens parade is a real popular feast and attracts thousands of spectators from the wide region to Ardooie every year. Because of the unfavourable corona figures, the organizing committee decided last month to cancel the procession this year. 

LIGHT PROJECTION ON CHURCH

For the first time in forty years there will be no procession through Ardooie this weekend. In order not to let Saint-Maarten go by unnoticed, there will be a light projection on the church tower from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. the next five days. 

KEY POINTS

This projection includes all the highlights of a traditional St. Martin's Day parade such as performances, floats, street theatre, children's entertainment... There are also artificial fireworks.

It is the company Urban Mapping from Roeselare who created the project.
