Rupelmonde – Mercatorkermis 2027

Mercatorkermis Rupelmonde 2027 is scheduled for Sunday, 16 May 2027, as a fixed date in the funfair calendar according to the municipality's official annual rule. In the Scheldt village of Rupelmonde, the traditional Mercatorkermis combines the fun of a village fair with a place whose name is closely associated with the cartographer Gerardus Mercator. The municipality has not yet published the full operating days for the 2027 edition separately.

Mercatorkermis Rupelmonde 2027: the date that can be determined officially

The municipality of Beveren-Kruibeke-Zwijndrecht specifies a fixed rule for Mercatorkermis: it is held on 14 May or the following Sunday. This means that 2027 is Sunday, 16 May. According to the municipality, the 2026 edition was scheduled for Saturday to Monday. However, this three-day duration has not been explicitly confirmed for 2027. We are therefore listing only the certain fair day for now; additional event days will be added once the municipality publishes them.

Mercatorkermis Rupelmonde 2027: location and getting there

Rupelmonde is part of the Belgian municipality of Beveren-Kruibeke-Zwijndrecht in East Flanders. Mercatorplein in the town centre is a useful reference point for finding your way. The municipality also gives this location for another funfair in Rupelmonde. No confirmed site plan for Mercatorkermis 2027 is available yet. So check the current location details on the official event page before setting off.

Rides and funfair

It has not yet been announced which showmen with rides, stalls and funfair food will actually take part in Mercatorkermis Rupelmonde 2027. We are therefore deliberately not listing any attractions as if they were confirmed. Opening hours for 16 May have also not been published yet. The municipal annual calendar alone does not establish a fixed afternoon start. Once a confirmed line-up of rides is announced, the listing can be updated with individual attractions.

Why Rupelmonde is associated with Mercator

The famous cartographer Gerardus Mercator was born in Rupelmonde. His legacy is still evident in the town today, for example at Mercatoreiland, with its Graventoren and historic tidal mill. If you are planning a funfair visit, you can also take the opportunity to enjoy a walk along the Scheldt. The funfair itself is a separate event and should not be confused with the tours or activities offered by Mercatoreiland.

Admission, programme and practical information

Admission arrangements, individual ride prices and a programme for 2027 have not yet been published. There is also no information yet about special activities or possible traffic measures. It is worth checking the municipality's guidance before setting off. Parking and public transport stops may be temporarily less accessible during a funfair. You can also find more dates in the funfair calendar.

You can find the official annual rule and later updates on the Municipality of Beveren-Kruibeke-Zwijndrecht website. The date has been calculated according to this rule and has not yet been published as a separate edition for 2027.
