Festivities
- The festivity of the hand (French: Fête de la Main) takes its name from the copper hand, possibly a symbol of fraternity, which tops the steeple of the church of Dottignies. During the third week-end of September, several Gilles, roam the streets and distribute the traditional oranges to passers-by.
- A Christmas Market takes place every year on the Grand’Place.
- The vingt-quatre heure de Mouscron takes place each September to raise money for charity. The event includes groups of able-bodied individuals running around the city for 24 hours.
