Ath is famous for its Ducasse -  a procession of giants, a parade of characters that have been gathering for over five hundred years and draw watchers into a charming medieval festival. In 1996 the city acquired a handsome town house located in Ath’s historic city centre that became the “The Giants’ House” - a museum of the folklore giants. Winner ot the “2008 European Tourist Destination of Excellence in Intangible Heritage" (project European Destinations of Excellence EDEN).
