Rekkem – Breughelkermis 2027
What to expect
Breughelkermis Rekkem 2027 is expected to hold its main festival day on Sunday, 20 June 2027, in line with the annual date rule documented in municipal publications. Breughelkermis is organised in Rekkem, a district of the Belgian city of Menen, by Breughelfeesten Rekkem vzw. The official municipal publication names the third Sunday in June as the festival day. In both 2025 and 2026, the organiser confirmed that Breughelkermis fell on this Sunday. However, a separate announcement of the date and programme for 2027 is still pending.
Breughelkermis Rekkem 2027: date calculated
The poster for Breughelkermis 2019, published in the municipal magazine, explicitly identifies the third Sunday in June as the traditional date. In 2027, this falls on 20 June. The official organiser's website also shows the 2025 edition on 15 June and the 2026 edition on 21 June. Both dates fit this annual rule. This makes 20 June a reliably calculated key festival day, but not a separately confirmed event announcement for 2027.
Why no additional days are listed
Some event calendars list Rekkem for the period from 19 to 21 June 2027. However, in 2026, the official permit issued by the City of Menen covered 20 and 21 June for the Breughelfeesten, while the municipal funfair calendar sometimes also included the following Monday. This shows that the village festival, main Sunday programme and funfair can run for different periods. These additional days have not yet been officially confirmed for 2027. For now, therefore, only the main Sunday is listed as the date.
Breughelkermis Rekkem 2027: funfair and tradition
The traditional festival combines the historic customs of Breughelkermis with activities around the village square. In previous years, the programme included the Breughelloop, the Breughelstoet, the Breughelworp and community games. Municipal records also document funfair rides set up in 2026 on the church square in Rekkem. It is not yet known which of these activities will return in 2027 or which showmen will take part. Therefore, neither a complete programme nor a specific list of rides is listed as confirmed.
Location on Kerkplein
For the 2026 edition, the City of Menen approved the set-up of funfair rides in the area beside the church on Moeskroenstraat. This is therefore the historically documented point of reference for the funfair area. However, no binding site plan is available for 2027 yet. You can find the approximate location in the Moeskroenstraat area, 8930 Rekkem, Belgium. Before you visit, check the organiser's latest information, especially if roads are closed or parking arrangements change.
Admission, opening times and getting there
The organiser's website for the 2026 edition states that admission to the Breughel festival itself is free and provides information about parking and traffic routes. This information does not automatically apply to 2027. Opening and closing times for the funfair and prices for individual rides have also not yet been published for the target year. This is why no unverified MEC opening-hours schedule or supposedly binding ride price is shown here. If you are looking for other fairs, use our funfair calendar.
Official sources for your visit
The Breughelfeesten Rekkem association website has information about the latest edition and a historical overview. The Menen municipal events calendar lists previous funfair dates in Rekkem. An older official municipal brochure also confirms the third Sunday in June as the annual festival day. Any new confirmation for 2027 takes precedence if there are changes.
