Heemstede – Hemelvaartskermis 2027

The Hemelvaartskermis Heemstede 2027 is scheduled for Wednesday, 5 May to Sunday, 9 May 2027. De Kermis Groep explicitly lists this Ascension Day funfair in its official showman tender for 2027. This means the planned dates are confirmed directly by the organiser. However, the exact event site and daily opening hours for 2027 have not yet been officially confirmed. If you are planning a visit, you should therefore wait for further announcements.

Hemelvaartskermis Heemstede 2027: five planned funfair days

The advertised funfair begins on Wednesday, 5 May, one day before Ascension Day. In 2027, the public holiday falls on Thursday, 6 May. The announced period then also includes Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This means that five days are planned in total. The announcement comes from De Kermis Groep itself and is not merely a calculation based on a private events calendar.

The organiser is inviting showmen to apply for this event. You can therefore expect typical funfair offerings. However, which rides, game stalls and food stalls will actually be allocated a pitch has not yet been decided. The current tender also does not include a list of specific operators or attractions for Heemstede 2027.

Hemelvaartskermis Heemstede 2027: where is the fairground?

In Heemstede, an officially approved Pinksterkermis was held in 2026 in the car park next to Sportcentrum Groenendaal, Sportparklaan 16. This information comes from the official municipal notice. However, it does not prove that the newly advertised Hemelvaartskermis for 2027 will take place at the same address. The notice also names 2026 as a different funfair operator.

The map marker shown therefore indicates only this historic location from 2026 as a guide. Please do not use it as a confirmed address for getting to the event in 2027. The location details must be updated once the current organiser or the municipality publishes the final site. Accordingly, we cannot yet give reliable recommendations for specific car parks, walking routes or public transport stops.

Rides and activities for families

A Dutch funfair usually brings together rides and games, as well as food and drink. What you can expect at the upcoming Heemstede edition depends on the actual line-up of rides. That is why we are not showing any specific carousels or showmen as confirmed participants. A family programme, special offers and possible discount days have also not yet been officially announced for 2027.

It is still worth planning ahead for a relaxed funfair visit: the confirmed event dates cover the Ascension Day weekend. This could be a convenient opportunity for a family day out. However, the daily opening hours and prices at individual attractions are not yet known. We therefore have not added any made-up opening times or admission prices to the calendar.

Opening hours and difference from Pinksterkermis

Opening hours have not yet been published. The officially documented Pinksterkermis from 2026 took place at Whitsun and had a different organiser. Its opening hours should therefore not simply be applied to the new edition 2027, which has been explicitly advertised for Ascension Day.

The name is important too: the working list calls the funfair in May 2027 Pinksterkermis. However, the official source from the organiser calls it Hemelvaartskermis. Since Whitsun in 2027 falls later in May, we are deliberately using the name published by the organiser for this event. This helps you avoid confusing it with the earlier Whitsun funfair.

Official sources and more dates

The specific dates are listed in the official showman tender from De Kermis Groep. By contrast, the official Heemstede approval for Pinksterkermis 2026 documents only the earlier fair and its location. The two sources therefore relate to different annual editions and must not be confused. You can also find more spring and Ascension Day funfairs in the Netherlands in our events calendar.
