Aalter – Sinksenkermis 2027

Sinksenkermis Aalter 2027 is scheduled for Whitsun Sunday, 16 May, and Whitsun Monday, 17 May 2027, under the town's current annual rule. The town has not yet announced the specific dates for the 2027 edition separately. If you are travelling around East Flanders over Whitsun, you can find the confirmed details here, along with what is still unknown.

Sinksenkermis Aalter 2027: date and tradition

In Aalter, Sinksenkermis is part of the annual calendar of public funfairs. “Sinksen” is the Flemish word for Whitsun. The town's official decision schedules the funfair for Whitsun every year. For 2026, it was announced to run from Friday to Monday; for 2025, however, it did not start until Saturday. So for 2027, only Whitsun Sunday, 16 May, and Whitsun Monday, 17 May, can be reliably inferred from the annual rule. Whether rides will open on Friday or Saturday remains unknown until a separate announcement is made. So check the town's latest updates before you travel.

Where are the rides?

At the 2026 edition, the rides were at Stationsplein, right by Aalter station. This location was also used for 2025. It is therefore a useful landmark when planning your visit. However, the exact site and layout for 2027 have not yet been officially published. So do not rely on a specific stall layout or on the number of stalls from previous years.

Sinksenkermis Aalter 2027: opening hours and prices

The full daily opening hours for 2027 have not yet been published. The town's overview for 2026 also does not provide a reliable, complete daily schedule. That is why we are deliberately not showing any times at present. There are also no confirmed details about admission, individual ride prices or possible discounts. Once this information is available, you will be able to plan your visit more precisely.

What to expect

Sinksenkermis is a traditional public funfair with travelling attractions. Reports of previous editions mentioned, among other things, game stalls and rides. It is not yet known which showmen will actually come to Aalter for 2027. Children's activities, music and special events from previous Whitsun weekends are not confirmed programme items for 2027 either. We will have to wait for the official announcement.

Getting there and practical planning

For travelling by train, Aalter station is the most convenient starting point if the funfair is held at Stationsplein again. If you are driving, be aware of possible closures or restrictions in the station car park. These were necessary at times during previous events; specific traffic regulations for 2027 have not yet been announced. The City of Aalter publishes the latest information. You can find more fairs in the funfair calendar. This lets you check your Whit Monday outing against the final details in good time.
