Jehay – Fête de la Pentecôte 2027
What to expect
Fête de la Pentecôte Jehay 2027 is the traditional Whitsun funfair in Jehay, Belgium, a district of the municipality of Amay in the province of Liège. For 2027, the annually recurring Whitsun date means it runs from Saturday, 15 May to Monday, 17 May. A separate announcement for the 2027 edition, with the full programme, is not yet available. The municipality explicitly describes the event as a recurring Fête foraine for Whitsun.
Fête de la Pentecôte Jehay 2027: three days of Whitsun tradition
At its heart is a combination of a small fair and a village celebration. In official information, the municipality of Amay describes the Whitsun celebration as an annual meeting place for residents. Showmen and their attractions are also part of the event. The date is not tied to a fixed calendar day, but to Whitsun weekend. As a result, the event shifts from year to year, taking place in May or June.
Where is the funfair?
The best-known event area is in Jehay, around Rue du Parc and the village centre. Place du Tambour is provided as a location reference. However, the final site plan for 2027 has not yet been published. Check the municipality's notices before travelling: it may reserve certain access routes and pitches for showmen. The funfair should not be confused with a regular visit to the nearby Château de Jehay.
Rides and stalls
The municipality confirms that this is a Fête foraine, an event featuring showmen. The specific rides, game stalls and food outlets taking part in 2027 have not yet been announced. A line-up of rides from a previous edition would not be reliable evidence for 2027. Once an official site plan or up-to-date showmen's list is published, the attractions can be described more precisely.
What is planned for Fête de la Pentecôte Jehay 2027
The programme is put together anew each year. The official announcement for 2025 listed, among other things, a flea market on Saturday, a Whitsun mass and a market on Monday. These are details from past editions, not confirmed plans for 2027. In particular, the start time, venues and any special events for the new edition have yet to be announced. Opening times are provisional as of 2026; final closing times are not yet available.

For planning purposes, the location is Jehay in the municipality of Amay, Wallonia. It is not yet clear whether any car parks will be closed or special bus services will run on 2027. Admission arrangements and ride prices for the new edition have also not yet been published. Do not treat prices from previous years as confirmed. Find further updates from the Municipality of Amay.
