Lentekermis Gistel 2027: date and location

The central market square is the traditional venue for Lentekermis. According to the town, Gistel holds a funfair there twice a year: the smaller spring event and, later, Godelievekermis. There is also a separate funfair in the district of Moere. For Lentekermis 2027, the official multi-year calendar gives 20 and 21 February, that is, Saturday and Sunday. This differs from some unofficial calendars, which already list Friday.

The town has recorded the period, with the specific dates through 2031, in an official document. This makes these dates more reliable than automatically carrying forward those of previous years. No separate announcement with all the details for the 2027 edition has been published yet.

What to expect at Gistel's market

A funfair in the middle of the market square has a special appeal: you can combine your visit with a walk through the town centre. In previous years, showmen's attractions were indeed set up in the square for Lentekermis. A local report from March 2025 described several rides that were open that weekend. However, this does not confirm which attractions will come 2027.

If you are coming specifically for a particular carousel, it is worth checking the current line-up of rides again shortly before the event. No confirmed list of showmen, ride prices or special events such as family days has yet been published for the 2027 edition. We will add this information as soon as reliable details become available.

Lentekermis Gistel 2027: opening times and planning

The town's event calendar lists the event days, but no confirmed opening times for the rides. That is why you will not find an invented daily schedule here. There is also no explicit confirmation at present as to whether access to the square is free for 2027. Individual rides and games are usually paid for separately; specific prices are not yet available.

To get there, head for the market in the centre of Gistel. Check local traffic and parking information before travelling, as set-up work may affect the usual use of the square. No official information has yet been provided about which parking areas, bus services or additional facilities will be available during the funfair in 2027.

How to keep the information up to date

The authoritative source for the two funfair days is the Gistel town funfair overview and its document “Kermis 2026–2031”. It also gives you the contact details for the local economy office if you are planning a specific visit. You can find more events in the funfair calendar. We distinguish clearly between confirmed dates and details that are still unknown, so you do not have to plan your visit based on assumptions.
