MONS: Tanks in Town, Friday 29th to Sunday 31st August 2025

Tanks in Town is looming large! Celebrating the liberation of the town of Mons at the end of WW2.

A procession of WWII tanks and military vehicles will follow in the tracks of the American armoured convoy that drove through the town in September 1944 following the Normandy landing. The war would still continue 8 months but hope was in sight.

Come and see the Shermans, Chaffees, Pershings, Tank Destroyers, Half Tracks, armoured cars, jeeps and lorries peacefully drive through the historic centre then gather on the Grand Place where the public get a chance to have a closer look at them.
