The Festin 1583 Historic Festival celebrates the victory of the Civil Militia of Lessines, commanded by a young captain, Sébastien de Tramasure. Thus, in the month of August 1583, in the midst of religious unrest, an army – undoubtedly a bit heterogeneous – consisting of Gentenaars, deserters from the army of William the Silent and looters Lessines. The common militia managed to lift the siege, and this victory, of course, brought great joy.
