Especially for kids of a height of 1 to 1.6 metres the Little Lumeçon is on the weekend following the Doudou.
This event allows 3560 children to participate, across the different coloured zones (according to height) in the Grand Place. Safety remains the top priority throughout.
You will need to collect a free t-shirt coloured specifically to your child's height for them to be able to participate. Name tags are also distributed. If children are taking part they will need long hair tied back, no jewellery and ideally closed toe shoes for their safety.
