Zottegem – Pinksterkermis 2027

The Pinksterkermis Zottegem 2027 brings the traditional Whitsun funfair back to the centre of the East Flemish city. The City of Zottegem describes the event as a four-day funfair over the Whitsun weekend. This means that in 2027, it runs from Saturday, 15 May, to Tuesday, 18 May. The specific opening times and programme for the 2027 edition have not yet been published separately.

Pinksterkermis Zottegem 2027: four days of funfair

Zottegem has a regular schedule: rides come to the city twice a year, at Whitsun and in August. According to the official description, the Whitsun edition lasts four days. Unlike the later August funfair, it is part of the spring programme. If you want to combine a funfair visit with a stroll around the city, the centre is a good starting point.

Rides, games and sweet classics

The city promotes its funfairs with rides and oliebollen. These are the typical deep-fried dough balls found at many fairs in Belgium. However, it is not yet known which carousels, games and food stalls will set up in 2027. An up-to-date official line-up of rides is not available. We therefore do not include attraction names from previous editions.

Tradition and Zottegemse Reuzen

The Zottegemse Reuzen are among the local traditions. The city says that the large festival figures parade through the centre once a year during Pinksterkermis. No schedule with a time and route has yet been published for 2027. You should therefore not assume that a historic programme item will take place on the same weekday or at the same time as the previous year.

Pinksterkermis Zottegem 2027 opening times

The four-day period can be inferred from the city's Whitsun rule. Confirmed opening and closing times for 2027 are not yet known. A complete official timetable from the previous year is also unavailable. Check the official city website shortly before your visit for the latest opening times. Admission and ride prices for 2027 have not yet been published either.

Where does the funfair take place?

The funfair is part of the city centre. For now, Markt is listed in this entry for orientation only. An official site plan for 2027, showing the individual attractions, access routes and possible road closures, has not yet been released. So allow plenty of time to walk there and follow the city's latest traffic updates.

More dates around Whitsun

Several Whitsun funfairs are traditionally held in the region. If you want to visit more than one event over a weekend, you can find more dates in the funfair calendar. For Zottegem, the date has been calculated according to the official annual rule, but the 2027 edition has not yet been announced separately. The programme and exact opening times will follow only after an official announcement.
