Nacht van de vogelverschrikkers

Description

Every two years, during the grape harvest, the city of Morges descends into a blazing chaos! The Nacht van de Vogelverschrikkers serves as a backdrop for a wild, magical, festive, explosive, and artistic celebration! The countryside takes over the city and parades through the streets, the winemakers are celebrated, the drums create charivari, and Les Commandos Percu lead the crowd into their percussive and pyrotechnic universe of now legendary and world-famous magic. The gigantic scarecrow will ultimately burn under the cheers of the crowd! On 28 September 2024, the 14th Nacht van de Vogelverschrikkers will be celebrated in a vibrant city. The parade with numerous floats begins in Denens and stops in Chigny, where the locals are offered a 4-hour meal prepared by the farmers of Vaud. The procession then descends to Morges, parades through the streets, and makes its way to the Place des Fêtes to make way for the coronation ceremony of the King of the Winemakers. The festival continues with a stunning pyrotechnic show that ends with the ignition of the King of the Scarecrows.
