Geel – Soldatenkermis 2026

Soldatenkermis Geel 2026 brings funfair activities to the centre of the Belgian city of Geel from Wednesday, 11 November, to Monday, 16 November 2026. The official event calendar lists Markt as the location. It also confirms opening hours of 13:00 to 22:00 on all six days. This lets you plan your visit without having to guess the opening times.

Soldatenkermis Geel 2026: six days at Markt

The venue is Markt in the centre of Geel, postcode 2440. According to the city, this funfair is in an urban setting, not on a remote fairground. For your visit, “Markt, 2440 Geel” is therefore the most reliable address. The city explicitly lists Soldatenkermis in its overview of public funfairs for 2026.

The timing is noteworthy: it starts on Wednesday, 11 November, and the fair does not end until the following Monday. This gives you several weekdays to choose from as well as the weekend. The six-day duration comes from the city’s current event page, not a calendar from a previous year.

Opening times for Soldatenkermis Geel 2026

Geel confirms the same opening hours for all six days: 13:00 to 22:00. According to the official information, the daily funfair begins in the early afternoon.

If you prefer to go during the day, you can plan to arrive from 13. If you would rather come later, the published closing time is 22. Individual attractions may have different operating hours; no separate confirmation is available.
