About the event

Lommel, in the Limburg Campine, opens the spring half-term with an old-fashioned local carnival organised by the town's carnival associations. On Sunday the big parade of floats and costumed groups goes through Lommel centre. On Monday it is the children's turn, with a parade through Lutlommel. Sweets are thrown from the floats, so a bag comes in handy, especially for the little ones. The 2027 programme and times are not published yet; the dates follow tradition.
