Mons Travel Forum

Hello all
I'm heading to the Tanks in Town festival in Mons at the end of August. It will be my first time attending :)
Just wondering if anyone can offer me any advise which might be useful to enjoying the experience fully?
I'm sure the crowds there will be huge and i've read online about a flea market, a re-enactment of the 1944 route into town by military vehicles etc.
Just thought i would ask if anyone could advise me from personal experience what might be essential for this weekend, apart from lots of memory for my camera! :)
Thanks a lot
DG

Mons is a nice town, not been in it in August, but it is vacation time all over Europe so I am sure they will be crowds,but enjoy it anyway.
Best is to contact the tourist office for information on the event you are going, here are the contact as I did not see anything about the Tanks, it does have a caserne with military
