Premise: Cooks' Festival (Fate des Cuisiniyres) in early August in Pointe-? -Pitre, with a colorful, appetite-stimulating parade, a religious ceremony honoring Saint Laurent (chosen as the local cooks' patron saint because in a.d. 258 he was burned alive on a rack, which is now a kitchen utensil) and a monumental free feast with singing, dancing, and liberal applications of rum punch.

Hypothesis: The festival is very solemn.
Relation: contradiction
