The Confrérie des Vignerons (Brotherhood of Winegrowers) organises the Winegrowers' Festival (''[[Fête des Vignerons]]'') four or five times each century (one per generation) to celebrate its wine-growing traditions and culture. On those occasions an arena for 16,000 spectators is built in the marketplace — the Grande Place, which is the second-biggest marketplace in [[Europe]], after [[Lisbon]], [[Portugal]].
The festivals date from the 18th century; the last five were in 1927, 1955, 1977, 1999, and 2019.
