Merelbeke – Carnavalskermis 2027
What to expect
Carnavalskermis Merelbeke 2027 falls on the weekend of 6 to 7 March 2027, according to the municipality's official annual rule. The municipality specifies a fixed pattern: the weekend three weeks before Easter. Easter Sunday is 2027 on 28 March. This means Saturday, 6 March, and Sunday, 7 March, can be inferred from the rule; no further event days have yet been officially confirmed for 2027.
Carnavalskermis Merelbeke 2027: date according to the annual rule
If you want to visit the funfair in Merelbeke, you can provisionally mark the first weekend in March in your diary. The municipality publishes a list of its annual funfairs, which follow a fixed date pattern. It specifically states that Carnavalskermis takes place on the weekend three weeks before Easter. A separate announcement for the 2027 edition, with all operating and programme days, is not yet available.
Another events calendar lists the period as late February. However, this does not match the official rule. This page therefore uses only the days that can be reliably inferred from the municipal rule. If the municipality sets a different date for 2027, its latest announcement will take precedence.
Where are the rides?
Merelbeke is part of the Belgian municipality of Merelbeke-Melle in East Flanders. In 2026, official information said the attractions were set up on Kerkplein and next to the library. This layout has not yet been confirmed for 2027. The map therefore shows only the centre of Merelbeke for orientation, not a confirmed pitch for individual showmen.
The exact location is particularly important if you are travelling with children or are short on time. Shortly before you set off, check whether the municipality has published any new information about access, routes and possible road closures. The traffic regulations from 2026 do not automatically apply to 2027.
Rides, prices and opening hours
An official line-up of rides for 2027 is not yet available. No specific rides or operators are therefore announced here. Published admission and ride prices, as well as reliable daily opening times, are also unavailable. As early as 2026, the municipality noted that the attractions' operating hours could depend on the weather. This earlier information is not a schedule for 2027.
Carnavalskermis Merelbeke 2027 and the accompanying programme
The funfair is traditionally part of local carnival celebrations. In March 2026, the municipality organised, among other things, a children's procession and a large carnival parade. This is a look back at that edition, not an announcement for 2027. The municipality has yet to confirm whether and when similar events will take place. Discounts or special event days have also not been confirmed.
Latest information for your visit
The official list of annual funfairs provides the date rule. The municipality's carnival page currently shows details for 2026 and will be relevant for new programmes. If you are looking for alternatives nearby, you can find more dates in the Kirmestermine calendar. Plan your visit around the confirmed days and check the details again once the programme for 2027 is available.
