Think of it like this: the Texas State Fair meets Llano Earth Art Fest. In the nearby town of Libramont there is an enormous agricultural fair, (20 Euro admission). A couple of villages over, near Tournay, is Le Petite Foir Paysenne, the Small Farmer’s Fair (free, by donation). Most of Belgium is agricultural land, rolling hills and forests; today we have a green landscape with puffy white clouds and a 75 degrees.

Should you attend a fair like this: come hungry, bring grocery bags or a small wagon, and lots of cash.
Quite an interesting event!
