Fact 8 of 12 · 26 September 2026 · 3 min read

Fairs and annual markets in the Kempen are more than just folklore: they are the moments when everyone reunites. In Sint-Job, these days are marked clearly in the calendar.

Village Fair

The fair brings stalls, rides and crowds to their feet. For businesses along the Handelslei, it is one of the busiest weekends of the year — and for visitors, it's a perfect time to get to know the village.

Markets in the municipality

Besides the fair, there are markets and annual events in the three districts. Dates shift from year to year, so check the official calendar before you head out.
