Genk – Winterkermis 2027
What to expect
Winterkermis Genk 2027 is expected to take place in the city centre from Saturday, 6 November to Monday, 8 November 2027. The City of Genk lists Winterkermis for 7 to 9 November 2026 in its official calendar. The date for 2027 has not yet been published; the days listed are based on the previous weekend pattern.
Winterkermis Genk 2027: November funfair
Winterkermis is one of the regular funfairs held in the Belgian city of Genk. Unlike the Christmas offerings later in winter, it is a separate event in November. The city centre is a good starting point for a visit. The exact location of the rides was not clearly stated in the municipal funfair overview we checked. The map pin at Stadsplein is therefore only a guide and is not a confirmed location for every ride.
Winterkermis Genk 2027: What is planned?
There is not yet an official list of participating showmen for the next edition. It is not yet known which rides, game stalls and food and drink options will be set up. The exact opening times for each day have also not been announced. We therefore avoid estimated times and do not reuse an old line-up of rides. This will help you see later which information actually applies to 2027.
The Sint-Martinus festival in the city centre
At the 2026 edition, Winterkermis coincided with the Sint-Martinus celebration. This included a procession of lights and other activities in the city centre. The festival is a separate event and is not an official part of the funfair programme. It has not yet been confirmed whether it will take place on the same weekend again in 2027, or what the times will be. You can only plan a visit to both events with confidence once the programme has been published.
Opening hours and admission
Neither the daily opening times nor the entry conditions for the entire funfair site have been clearly published officially for Winterkermis 2027. This page therefore does not guarantee free entry. Rides and individual attractions may still incur a charge. Confirmed prices will be added only after the official information has been checked.
Getting to Genk
The city centre is a good starting point for finding your way around. As the exact site layout for 2027 has not yet been confirmed, check the latest information about access routes, car parks and possible closures shortly before travelling. The official funfair overview of the City of Genk lists the city's dates. Find more events in our funfair calendar.
Latest information for 2027
The November date is still a forecast. Opening times, exact locations, attractions and entry rules have not yet been confirmed. Once the city publishes its information for 2027, these details can be updated with official data. Until then, the event is marked as an expected date.
