Showcase the majesty of the giant Goliath, the central figure of the famous Ducasse d'Ath, with this exclusive design! First mentioned as early as 1481, Goliath (or “Gouyasse” in the local dialect) is the very symbol of the city of Ath and the undisputed star of this unique folk festival.
This design pays homage to Goliath, an imposing figure who, every year, leads his betrothed, Madame Goliath, to the altar of Saint-Julien Church for their wedding, before facing off against the young shepherd David in a legendary battle. The dragon on his helmet attests to his role as a mythical “villain,” though his face—inspired by Michelangelo’s David—lends him a touching humanity.
Wearing this design shows your connection to centuries of tradition, history, and the identity of Ath. Ideal for die-hard Ducasse fans, enthusiasts of Belgian folklore, and anyone who wants to celebrate Goliath’s indomitable spirit. A timeless souvenir of the Ducasse d’Ath!
