Event highlights:
- Spectacular cooking: Picture a 4-metre-wide frying pan heated over a wood fire, filled with no fewer than 10,000 fresh eggs. The chefs’ synchronized choreography using giant wooden paddles is a true spectacle in itself.
- The Brotherhood Parade: Members of the Confrérie march in full ceremonial dress (tall chef hats and yellow-and-white capes) to the sound of local music, keeping a spirit of fellowship alive.
- Free tasting: Once cooked to perfection, the giant omelette is served free of charge to the crowd. It is the defining moment of Malmedy hospitality, shared over a slice of bread and a generous portion of omelette.
- Festive fair atmosphere: The day is packed with live music, street performances, and a funfair, making Malmedy the capital of entertainment for the holiday.
Host’s “Action” tip 💡
« The gîte bonus: This is the ultimate family event! We recommend arriving at the square in the late morning to watch the cracking of the eggs, which is always a thrill for kids. After enjoying your taste of the omelette, take a stroll through Malmedy’s shopping streets, which are exceptionally lively on this public holiday. »
