Binche Carnival (Belgium)
Binche Carnival's iconic Gilles—masked figures in wax masks and ostrich-feather hats—throw blood oranges at spectators in a 14th-century tradition, earning UNESCO World Heritage status. The 1,000 Gilles don costumes weighing 30 kg each, a distinctive feature unmatched elsewhere, embodying a uniquely Belgian blend of ritual and revelry.
