What to expect

The Paaskermis Zelzate 2027 is expected to take place at Grote Markt from Friday, 26 March to Monday, 5 April 2027. The period is listed for 2027 in a funfair calendar, but the municipality of Zelzate has so far only officially published the 2026 edition. The Easter funfair is one of the town’s traditional major funfairs. Admission to the public fairground is usually free; individual rides and food are paid for separately.

Paaskermis Zelzate 2027 at Grote Markt

Zelzate lies in the north of East Flanders, near the Dutch border. Grote Markt is a central meeting place and is used for larger funfairs. According to the municipal administration, several large and small funfairs are held in Zelzate every year. Paaskermis and Augustuskermis are among the best-known editions at Grote Markt. For 2026, the municipality has confirmed the period from 3 to 13 April. This reflects the recurring Easter tradition, but does not yet confirm the individual dates for 2027.

Rides, game stalls and funfair treats

At a larger Easter funfair, you can expect a mix of rides for different age groups, game stalls and food and drink. Children's carousels and classic circular rides are typical features of these events. However, the specific rides that will be at Paaskermis Zelzate 2027 are not yet known. We therefore do not list unconfirmed showmen's names. Special new rides and the number of businesses also remain unknown until an up-to-date site plan is published. The main image is explicitly an illustrative image of our own, not an original photograph.

Paaskermis Zelzate 2027: Opening hours

Opening hours have not yet been published. The official municipal overview lists the event days for the 2026 edition, but no complete daily start and finish times for 2027. The structured MEC schedule is therefore currently empty. The technical default setting of calendar software is not a real opening time and is not shown on the website. Opening hours may also vary between days during the Easter holidays. In particular, you should check the latest event announcements for the final Monday.

Easter, family activities and admission

The reported Easter funfair starts on Good Friday before Easter 2027 and ends on the Monday after the following week's Easter weekend. Easter Sunday falls on 28 March and Easter Monday on 29 March. A funfair during this period can be a leisure activity for families. However, discount offers, fireworks or a fixed entertainment programme for 2027 have not yet been confirmed. We therefore do not list such highlights without evidence. Access to the public market is usually free, while rides, games and food are charged.

Grote Markt is in the centre of 9060 Zelzate. You can reach it by regional bus services or by car via the local access roads. Parking spaces around the market square may be unavailable during the event, so arriving early is recommended.
