Fiestas católicas 

El catolicismo, con sus numerosas procesiones, tiene una larga historia en el cantón de Friburgo. 

El Viernes Santo (29 de marzo de 2024), las «Lloronas» desfilan en oración por la ciudad de Romont con la cabeza cubierta por un velo negro. Esta conmemoración de la Pasión de Cristo reúne a visitantes, creyentes o profanos.  

Después de la misa del Corpus Christi (30 de mayo de 2024), la procesión visita en oración los altares levantados sobre repisas ricamente decoradas. La procesión celebra Jesucristo en el sacramento de la Eucaristía.
