Sint-Pieters-Leeuw – Jaarmarktkermis 2026
What to expect
Jaarmarktkermis Sint-Pieters-Leeuw 2026 combines the traditional market in the town centre on Wednesday, 11 November, with the funfair announced by the municipality. Around 250 market stalls, an animal show and a stage programme are part of the confirmed market day. Important for your plans: the town lists 4 November as the funfair's arrival date and 15 November as its departure date. These are not confirmed daily opening times for the rides. So for now, only the explicitly confirmed market day is listed here.
Jaarmarktkermis Sint-Pieters-Leeuw 2026: market and funfair
The event takes place in the centre of Sint-Pieters-Leeuw. Rink is a useful landmark for the funfair area. The market also extends along several streets. The municipality has announced around 250 stalls for 11 November; visitors can browse the market from 8 o'clock. This time marks the start of the market, not necessarily the start of the funfair rides.
The traditional animal show is another attraction in its own right. Riding and working horses, as well as ponies, are presented on Pepingensesteenweg; other animal groups are planned for a nearby area. If you only want to visit the rides, check the still-unconfirmed operating times before setting off.
Programme for Jaarmarktkermis Sint-Pieters-Leeuw 2026
The market offers much more than stalls. The official opening of the market is scheduled for 10 o'clock. Showkoor Remember performs at 10:15 o'clock. This is followed by L&A Dance Company at 12:15 o'clock, Dance O Mania at 13 o'clock and Tahtanka at 14 o'clock. The performances are part of the market programme, not separately confirmed funfair attractions.
At the same time, the 84 edition of the Leeuw Art exhibition takes place at Colomakasteel. The municipality describes the exhibition on the ground floor as free to visit. This lets you enjoy a varied visit combining the market, music, animal show and exhibition.
Getting there, shuttle buses and parking
As the town centre gets very busy on market day, the municipality recommends using the free shuttle services. Shuttles run from Vlezenbeek and Ruisbroek between 9 and 17 o'clock. Further shuttle buses run between 9 and 21 o'clock. They depart from Domein Huizingen and Colruyt Bilkensveld. Unlike in previous years, the former Makro site is not a departure point.
You can also reach the area on bus routes R70 (Gemeentehuis stop) and R72 (Lotstraat). Bicycle parking is available at Parking Coloma, on Pastorijstraat and at the town hall, among other places. The event area will be closed for market set-up from 6 o'clock on 11 November; according to the municipality, parking restrictions start at midnight.
What is still unknown about the rides and prices
The municipal information checked does not include an official line-up of rides for 2026. So we are not listing rides or operators as supposedly confirmed. Admission and ride prices, as well as daily funfair opening times, have also not been officially announced. The stated 250 stalls refer to the market, not to the number of rides.
If you want to come on a day other than 11 November, check the actual funfair operating days with the municipality beforehand. The set-up and dismantling dates of 4 and 15 November are no substitute for this information. Find more events in the Kirmestermine calendar. The Municipality of Sint-Pieters-Leeuw publishes official information and updates.
