The story

Les Tailleurs Festival in Ecaussinnes

Les Tailleurs, the festival insolite et insolent d'Ecaussinnes, is a multidisciplinary street-arts festival running since 2014 in the old village center of Ecaussinnes, Belgium. Held over a weekend each October, it stages street performance, circus, theatre, humor, crafts market, concerts, object theatre, dance, and processions across venues including a tent, castle courtyard, and churches, organized by a team of about 120 volunteers with both free and paid PASS program tiers.

Each October, the old village center of Ecaussinnes, in Belgium's Hainaut province, turns into a scattered stage for street performance and circus arts.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's structure sets it apart: it runs on two access tiers, a free program open to all and a paid PASS program, letting organizers fund ambitious staging while keeping much of the festival accessible without a ticket

02

The mystery stays covered

Each year, five to ten companies or emerging acts are chosen through competition for the free program, giving newer artists a genuine platform rather than confining them to fringe slots

03

The city starts moving

Its venues are unusually varied, spanning a tent, a castle courtyard, and churches within Ecaussinnes's old village center, giving performances distinct backdrops

04

The water draws everyone in

Run by about 120 volunteers, the festival has grown since 2014 into a recognized name on Belgium's street-arts circuit, its self-description as insolite et insolent, unusual and cheeky, reflecting a deliberately offbeat style
