Hoeilaart – Winter funfair 2026
What to expect
Winterkermis Hoeilaart 2026 brings ten days of funfair atmosphere to Gemeenteplein in the Belgian town of Hoeilaart from 20 to 29 November. The municipality has confirmed not only the dates but also published specific opening times for each day. This means you can plan your visit to the town centre with confidence, whether you’re popping in for a quick after-work stroll or enjoying a family outing at the weekend.
Winterkermis Hoeilaart 2026: Ten days on Gemeenteplein
Unlike a funfair on a remote fairground, this winter funfair takes place right in the middle of Gemeenteplein. The municipality describes attractions for younger and older visitors, as well as typical funfair treats. However, the published announcement does not say which individual rides and showmen 2026 will be there. We therefore deliberately do not give any unconfirmed business names or ride prices.
The funfair opens on Friday, 20 November. It then runs until and including Sunday, 29 November. The event site is in the town centre; when travelling, bear in mind that set-up begins before the first day of opening and that the municipality may introduce special traffic regulations for the square.
Winterkermis Hoeilaart 2026 opening times
The Winterkermis Hoeilaart 2026 is open on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 16:00 to 20:00. You can visit from 14:30 to 20:00 on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. There is a separate entry in our opening hours overview for each of the ten event days. That way, you don't have to infer the opening times for individual days from general weekend rules.
These differences are particularly useful for families to bear in mind: at the weekend, you have more time in the afternoon. On four weekdays, the funfair does not open until 16. If anything changes at short notice, the municipality's current event page is the authoritative source.
Attractions, treats and free admission
The municipality specifically invites visitors to enjoy funfair rides and sweet treats. According to the official event calendar, admission to Winterkermis is free. However, this does not mean rides or food are free: individual prices and any discounts have not yet been officially published for 2026. No specific family day, fireworks or full line-up of rides have been announced in the official information checked either.
The funfair is an easy reason to pop into the town centre. If you want to visit specifically for a particular ride, check with the municipality in advance rather than relying on unconfirmed lists.
How to find Winterkermis Hoeilaart 2026
The event takes place at Gemeenteplein, 1560 Hoeilaart, Belgium. You can set the square as your destination for navigation. As some areas may be needed by showmen during set-up and the event, do not assume you can park right at the square. The event page checked does not mention any dedicated shuttle service or confirmed visitor parking.
You can find further details and possible changes in the official notice from the municipality. If you’d like to discover more funfairs in the region afterwards, our funfair calendar can help you plan.
