Voortkapel – Eerste Kermis 2027

The Eerste Kermis Voortkapel 2027 is one of the traditional village funfairs in Westerlo. According to the official annual rule, the first funfair in Voortkapel begins on the Sunday after Pentecost: in 2027, that is Sunday, 23 May. The municipality's information for the previous year's event says it ran until Tuesday, but the other operating days for 2027 have not yet been confirmed. No separate date announcement for 2027 has been made yet.

Eerste Kermis Voortkapel 2027: the funfair site

According to the municipality, the funfair takes place on the small square at Ter Voort and Nieuwebaan in Voortkapel. This means you can visit an event in Voortkapel, a district of the Belgian municipality of Westerlo. Unlike the large city fairs, the focus here is on local character. The site named by the municipality will help you find your way; the municipality has not yet published a special layout plan for 2027.

Eerste Kermis Voortkapel 2027: rides and stalls

The showmen, children's rides and stalls that will actually be there in 2027 have not yet been announced. A line-up of rides from a previous year would not be reliable evidence. Once the municipality or the showmen involved publish an up-to-date list, it will be possible to describe what's on offer in more detail. For now, plan your visit without expecting any particular attraction.

The tradition of the Sunday after Pentecost

The Eerste Kermis Voortkapel 2027 follows a clear local tradition. Westerlo explicitly names the Sunday after Pentecost as the fixed reference point. In 2026, that Sunday fell on 31 May; in 2027, it falls on 23 May. This makes the first funfair different from the second Voortkapel funfair in late summer. The other funfairs in Westerlo and its districts also each have their own rules and sites.

Opening hours, admission and programme

Specific daily opening times for 2027 have not yet been published. There is also no reliable information for the new event about admission, individual ride prices or special programme highlights. The official municipal calendar is therefore the best place to check for updates shortly before the event. A programme from the previous year is not automatically the programme for the next event.

Getting to Voortkapel

Look for the square by Nieuwebaan and Ter Voort in 2260 Voortkapel. If travelling by car, check for any temporary traffic arrangements around the funfair site. Information on special parking areas, bus diversions or accessibility specifically for 2027 has not yet been published. Find more funfairs in our funfair calendar.
