The Septemberkermis in Tongeren is a stable fixture on the Limburgian event calendar and brings extra liveliness to the centre of Belgium's oldest city each year. The fairground is traditionally set up in and around the historic city centre and creates an atmospheric contrast with the Roman remains, squares and monumental streets for which Tongeren is known. The event combines carnival attractions with a traditional market and special programming for families.
- 120+ carnival attractions and fairground stalls spread across the historic city centre
- Close proximity to Hasselt (c. 20 km) and Maastricht (c. 15 km), making it easily accessible for Dutch visitors
- Family Day with substantial discounts on all rides (typically Wednesday of the fair week)
- Annual traditional market in the city centre (typically Thursday)
- Opening fireworks display
- Accessible special programming for visitors with sensory sensitivities and families with disabilities
