The [[Ducasse de Mons]] (Walloon French for [[Kermesse (festival)|Kermesse]]), is one of the [[UNESCO]] [[Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity]]. It comprises two important parts: the procession, the descent and the ascent of the shrine of [[Waltrude]], and the combat between [[Saint George]] and the dragon. The combat (after the procession), plays out on the Trinity Sunday between 12:30 pm and 1:00 pm on the [[Mons, Belgium|Mons]]'s central square. It represents the fight between Saint George (the good) and the dragon (the evil). The dragon is a mannequin carried and moved by the ''white men'' (''fr:Hommes blancs''). The dragon fights Saint George by attacking with his tail. Saint George on his horse turns clockwise and the dragon turns in the other direction. Saint George finally kills the dragon.

The [[Gilles]] of [[Binche]] and the giants' procession in [[Ath]] are also [[UNESCO]] [[Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity]].
