Colorful parades of people dressed in children's favorite heroes are organized for kids, interesting competitions are held in the markets. Before Easter, young travelers are always delighted with another holiday - namely, Kaolin et Barbotine, during which kids can learn many interesting things at Centers Culturels Municipaux. Besides workshops, children can enjoy contests, exhibitions, stories, conferences, and seminars. Many of the events organized are free of charge.
Another event widely celebrated in Limoges and throughout the world is Halloween. The route of the parade participants dressed as vampires, witches, and ghosts passes through the central streets of the city. Restaurants and cafes offer themed menus and parties are organized in bars and clubs. Might seem like the holiday is no different from Halloween in other cities, however, in Limoges, it is celebrated on a very large scale (thus, about thirty thousand people visit the French city during the festival every year). Before Halloween, in mid-October, the city hosts two gastronomic festivals - Toques et Porcelaine and Frairie des Petits Ventres. Each one deserves a visit and allows to get acquainted with the rich gastronomic culture of the city and the region.
