Description
The Procession of the Golden Tree returned to the streets of Bruges on Sunday for the first time in seven years, as thousands of visitors came to the Flemish city to experience the colourful folk event.
The festival commemorates the extravagant festivities that followed the marriage of Charles the Bold and Margaret of York in 1468 - festivities that lasted almost ten days. "In total, 2.000 people work on this event. That's why we do it every five years," explains stage manager Dominique Deckers. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
