Carnaval en 🇧🇪 Belgique

Belgium's Binche Carnival, a UNESCO-recognized event, is famous for the Gilles—costumed figures in wax masks and ostrich-feather hats who throw oranges to the crowds on Shrove Tuesday.

Pre-Lenten festival celebrated with parades, masquerades, music, and dancing in the days before Ash Wednesday, most famously in Rio de Janeiro, Venice, and New Orleans.
