has abstract	The Meyboom plantation (or Meiboom in Dutch, "May tree" – a bastardisation of the Dutch tree of joy) is the oldest tradition in Brussels, Belgium, attested since 1308. It is held every year on 9 August, the eve of St Lawrence's Day, and consists mainly in planting a beech at the intersection of the Rue des Sables/Zandstraat and the Rue du Marais/Broekstraat in the City of Brussels' Marais–Jacqmain District. It is accompanied by processions and various folk activities during the day. The celebration is reminiscent of Brussels' long-standing (folkloric) feud with Leuven, which dates back to the Middle Ages. Following a friendly incident in 1974 in which the Meyboom was stolen and brought to Leuven, both cities have claimed to be planting the "real" Meyboom. Since 2008, it is recognised as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. (en) La plantation du Meyboom (ou Meiboom en néerlandais, arbre de mai), attestée depuis 1308, est la plus ancienne tradition bruxelloise ; elle consiste principalement à planter chaque année le 9 août un hêtre au carrefour de la rue des Sables et de la rue du Marais. L'exercice s'accompagne de cortèges et de diverses activités folkloriques au cours de la journée. Au titre des Géants et dragons processionnels de Belgique et de France, le Meyboom de Bruxelles a été inscrit sur la liste représentative du patrimoine culturel immatériel de l’humanité par l'Unesco en 2008 et compte parmi les chefs-d’œuvre du Patrimoine oral et immatériel de la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles.
