Since 1736, this tradition, recognized as National Intangible Cultural Heritage (2012), has brought the battle between good and evil to life.
Approximately 500 local amateur actors perform a play with music, song, fights, and a 14-meter-long, fire-breathing dragon.
The village builds the set, costumes, and props themselves, and houses are decorated with dragon flags.
In 2023, it attracted six performances with an audience of 15,000.
The next edition in 2030 will be looking for a new location, as Nieuwenbroeck Castle is no longer available.
