Funfair and Klompenball
The funfair is named after the tradition of Klompen, or wooden clogs. The Vluyner Klompenfreunde describe their Klompenball as an event held on the Monday of the funfair, one week after Pentecost. The story of the Klompen king and queen is part of it. The times and programme details that apply on 2027 have not yet been announced.
The Klompenfreunde report that the tradition was revived in 1950. According to their chronicle, a Klompenkönig was crowned for the first time in 1952. The Klompenball is therefore a special part of local customs. You should check the details of participation and proceedings with the Klompenfreunde before your visit.
