Houthalen-Oost – Carnavalkermis 2027

The Carnavalkermis Houthalen-Oost 2027 is expected to take place at Lindeplein from Saturday, 20 February, to Monday, 22 February 2027. The central funfair Sunday on 21 February can be deduced from the municipality's official rule: the fifth Sunday before Easter. However, neither the full three-day period nor specific opening times have been confirmed by a separate municipal announcement for the 2027 edition. Visiting the fairground is usually free.

Carnavalkermis Houthalen-Oost 2027 at Lindeplein

Houthalen-Oost is part of the municipality of Houthalen-Helchteren in the province of Limburg. Lindeplein is mentioned as the venue for the local carnival funfair. The official funfair calendar for 2026 lists the first Sunday in March as the funfair Sunday. The rule is the fifth Sunday before Easter. In 2027, this Sunday falls on 21 February. This means that the central day can be calculated reliably, while the two days either side remain provisional until the organisers make their final announcement.

Funfair entertainment for families

The smaller local funfair traditionally offers a manageable mix of carousels, game stalls and food and drink options. Children and families often find easily accessible attractions at funfairs like these. However, there is no complete, up-to-date list of rides for 2027. Therefore, we are not listing any individual showmen or rides as definitively confirmed. Older photos from the region would not necessarily show the current funfair either, so the cover image is clearly labelled as illustrative. The actual number of businesses still needs to be confirmed.

Carnavalkermis Houthalen-Oost 2027: opening times

The municipality has not yet published a complete daily schedule for the three planned event days. The previous year's official funfair calendar also does not give daily opening and closing times for the carousels. Therefore, no estimated timetable is shown. Opening times on Monday may differ from Sunday in particular. Check when the showmen actually open before visiting. The municipality's designation of Sunday alone does not indicate confirmed opening hours.

Distinguishing funfair dates and districts

Houthalen-Helchteren has several funfair traditions in different districts. For example, the municipality lists events in Helchteren, Houthalen-Centrum and Houthalen-Oost separately. So it is important to choose the right site and Sunday. The Carnavalkermis listed here is for Houthalen-Oost. An event in May at Pentecost is a different edition. Further programmes or family day activities should only be added once they are specifically confirmed for February 2027.

Admission, getting there and services

The public Lindeplein is usually open to visitors without a general admission ticket. Individual rides, games and food cost extra. If you are using public transport, you can check the stops in the district. Drivers should note that the fairground is not fully available for parking while it is being set up. The Municipality of Houthalen-Helchteren publishes its funfair overview. You can find more Belgian funfairs in our calendar.
