Zoutkamp – Pinksterfeesten 2027

Pinksterfeesten Zoutkamp 2027: From Friday, 14 May, to Monday, 17 May 2027, the Dutch fishing village of Zoutkamp celebrates Whitsun with a funfair, harbour events and Vlaggetjesdag. The municipality of Het Hogeland's official events calendar also explicitly confirms the four festival days for 2027. The organisers describe the funfair as a regular part of the Whitsun weekend.

Pinksterfeesten Zoutkamp 2027: Funfair by the harbour

In Zoutkamp, rides meet fishing traditions. At previous events, the funfair was held around the Dorpsplein and Sluisweg. Just a few steps away are the Binnenhaven and the streets of the historic harbour town. You can combine a visit to the funfair with a walk past the decorated fishing boats. The exact site plan for 2027 has not yet been published, so the location details are a guide only.

Funfair opening times

The funfair opens at 16:00 on Friday, at 13:30 on both Saturday and Sunday, and at 11:00 on Monday. Daily closing times are not known. No specific information is available yet about ride prices or entry conditions.

Vlaggetjesdag on Whit Monday

Monday, 17 May 2027 is the traditional highlight. On the second day of Pentecost, Zoutkamp celebrates Vlaggetjesdag: the fishing boats are festively decorated in the harbour, and the arrival of the Garnalenkoningin, the Queen of the Prawns, takes centre stage. The organiser also describes a fair and numerous maritime activities. The exact departure times for the boats, the order of performances and further programme details for 2027 have not yet been published.

Further programme items and rides

The festivities traditionally include live music, market stalls and activities related to fishing. The organisers still need to confirm which bands and demonstrations will take place 2027. Special evening events have also yet to be confirmed. The same applies to the line-up of rides: no official ride list has been published 2027 so far. We therefore do not list any attractions from previous years as confirmed.

Pinksterfeesten Zoutkamp 2027: Getting there and parking

The festivities centre on the village square, harbour and town centre. In the 2026 edition, additional parking areas were designated and some access roads were closed, particularly on Whit Monday. It is therefore still unclear whether these parking options and fees 2027 will remain unchanged. If you are travelling by car, check the traffic updates from the municipality and organiser shortly before your visit. This makes it easy to explore the harbour, market and funfair in the town centre on foot.
