St. Martin's Fire in Tielt-Winge attracts many people despite rain: "We create the atmosphere in the tent ourselves"

The Sint-Maartensvuur in Tielt-Winge took place despite rain, attracting thousands of visitors. The event featured a traditional torchlight procession, a children's beet competition, and a majestic farmer's horse. Although the weather dampened the fire's intensity, the atmosphere remained lively inside the tent with performances, including a cover band. Organizers implemented a new payment system after last year's fraud incident, ensuring better security. The celebration continued late into the night with music and entertainment.
