Hoornsterzwaag – Oldtimer Festival 2027

The Oldtimer Festival Hoornsterzwaag 2027 takes place on Thursday, 6 May 2027, at Jan Evertswei in the Dutch province of Friesland. Stichting Oldtimer Evenement confirms Ascension Day directly on its official organiser website. Alongside classic vehicles, motorcycle races and parts trading, there is explicitly a market and funfair area with children's attractions. This makes the festival interesting for funfair fans and families too. You can enjoy historic technology and a market atmosphere on the same day.

Oldtimer Festival Hoornsterzwaag 2027: venue and date

The festival site is at Jan Evertswei in Hoornsterzwaag, in the province of Friesland. The organiser provides directions and announces several entrances as well as additional parking. Bicycle parking is also mentioned. However, you should check current signposts and possible traffic arrangements before your visit, as the exact access to the site may vary depending on visitor numbers.

The official 2027 edition is explicitly scheduled for Ascension Day. The public holiday falls on Thursday, 6 May 2027. For this reason, only this single event day has been entered in the calendar. The organiser has not announced any additional public days.

Oldtimer Festival Hoornsterzwaag 2027: funfair and market

The dedicated funfair area is particularly interesting. On its event page, the foundation describes a swing ride or small flying carousel attraction, a shooting gallery, mini bungee and children's quad bikes as funfair offerings. Typical Dutch fairground treats such as Oliebollen are also mentioned. The attractions are spread around the site, with most of them in the area in front of the large festival tent.

This information comes from the organiser's general description of what is on offer. A complete 2027 line-up of named showmen and physical rides is not yet available. Therefore, none of these offerings has yet been linked to an individual attraction in our database as a confirmed participant.

A traditional Jaarmarkt is also part of the festival. According to the event concept, you can expect a mix of clothing, jewellery, flowers, art, collectibles and other items for sale. There is also a parts market for classic cars, motorcycles, mopeds and tractors. You can combine your visit with a stroll among the market stalls.

Vehicle displays, races and entertainment

Classic vehicles of all kinds are also at the heart of the festival. The foundation lists historic cars, motorcycles, agricultural machinery, steam engines and stationary engines. Other programme areas include classic motorcycle and moped races, a tractor-pulling event and performances by theatre groups and street artists. Families can therefore enjoy more than just a vehicle gathering.

The exact schedule for individual performances and races for 2027 has not yet been published in full. The event programme therefore lists only the confirmed general offerings, without invented start times. A reference to 14 May that still appears on the official activities page apparently comes from an earlier edition and has not been included as a 2027 programme date.

Visitor information, admission and tickets

The organiser states that the site opens to visitors from 10 o'clock. However, a reliably published official closing time for 2027 is not yet available. Our calendar therefore does not show an invented full schedule and omits the technical MEC default times. Check for updates before travelling.

According to the foundation, visitors need tickets for entry. Children up to and including twelve years old may enter free of charge, but may need to prove their age. The regular price in euros is not clearly specified on the organiser's currently available website. We therefore do not claim a ticket price that may not be valid. The organiser also recommends bringing cash, as card payments do not always work due to a weak mobile signal.

More information and getting there

You can find all the key information on the official Oldtimer Festival Hoornsterzwaag website. Additional information about admission, parking, market stalls and visitor opening times is in the official visitor section. The current programme of funfair rides, market stalls and other activities is described on the organiser's activities page. You can also find many more markets and funfairs in our funfair calendar.
