These locations are the places to be if you want to breathe in the atmosphere of the Ghent Festivities.  You can only go up the tower of St Bavo’s Cathedral during the Ghent Festivities. Negotiate the stairs and enjoy the magnificent view of this unique party for the people in the heart of Ghent. At other times of the year, you can enjoy the most beautiful view of Ghent from directly beneath the golden dragon, Ghent’s mascot, on the Belfry tower  [https://visit.gent.be/en/see-do/ghent-belfry-world-heritage]opposite. From there you can continue exploring the heart of Ghent. Anything goes. Everything comes to an end, and then it’s clean-up time. After ten days of revelry, the municipal sanitation department pulls out all the stops to restore Ghent to its usual spic-and-span state. This takes approximately 3 days, so you should take this into account if you visit Ghent just after the Festivities week.  See all event locations in the Ghent Festivity Zone Are you driving to Ghent?

Procession of Emperor Charles and the noose bearers: A bit of history during the Ghent Festivities
26jul.
Gent|Verschillende
The procession of Emperor Charles and the noose bearers commemorates the public humiliation of the Ghent notable citizens by Emperor Charles V in May 1540. In Medieval times, Ghent was a prosperous city thanks to the cloth industry and trade. That changed in the 16th century, when the city was hit by an economic recession. During the Ghent revolt, the citizens of Ghent committed lèse-majesté and refused to pay taxes imposed by the emperor. Emperor Charles personally came to Ghent to resolve the matter. 25 participants in the revolt were sentenced to death. The emperor was not satisfied with the defence put forward by the city’s leaders and accused the city of disloyalty, sedition, mutiny and disobedience. The city lost all its privileges and freedoms.  On 3 May 1540, the Ghent citizens were subjected to total humiliation. They were marched through the streets from the town hall to Prinsenhof, the emperor’s palace. The procession consisted of the aldermen, clerks and all civil servants, 30 notable citizens and the deans of guilds, barefoot and dressed in black robes. They were followed by 318 members of smaller craftsmen guilds and 50 weavers. The procession was closed by 50 ‘creesers’ (screechers), dressed in white robes and carrying a hangman’s noose around their necks, as a sign that they deserved to hang. Once they had arrived at Prinsenhof, they had to beg the emperor for mercy.  Ever since, the citizens of Ghent have been nicknamed “stroppendragers” or “noose bearers”, as a symbol of resistance against tyranny and misplaced authority. During the annual procession, the emperor is booed and the noose bearers are applauded.  The Castle of the Counts – Sint-Veerleplein – Kraanlei – Zuivelbrug – Grootkanonplein – Vrijdagmarkt – Kammerstraat – Belfortstraat – Botermarkt – Emile Braunplein – Klein Turkije – Korenmarkt – Groentenmarkt – Vleeshuishuisbrug – Sint-Veerleplein – The Castle of the Counts Are you driving to Ghent?
