They back Warmup

The project

Party hard, for a good cause

Warmup Doudou is the yearly party put on by Round Table 06 Mons. On the Thursday before the Ducasse, thousands of locals gather in the CBC Bank courtyard (DJ, fanfare, bars, food truck) to kick things off.

Why "Warmup"? Because it's the warm-up: a few days before the Lumeçon, the city is already alive. And "Doudou" is the familiar name for the Mons dragon, hero of Saint George's fight at the heart of the Ducasse.

The core of it fits in one line: 100% of the profits go to charities working on local and solidarity causes. We party, and the party does good.
