Aalsmeer (NL) - Kermis

The fair in Aalsmeer, held in the car park of the De Waterlelie sports centre, is an integral part of the local events calendar and marks the start of the open-air season for many residents of the flower town. Thanks to its location on the spacious, paved area on the Dreef, the event offers a modern and functional environment that is very different from the narrow, historic squares in the town centre.

This location allows for a spacious arrangement of the various stalls and rides, which ensures a relaxed walking experience, especially when visitor numbers are high. As the entire area is asphalted, the site remains easily accessible and clean for all visitors, whether with prams or wheelchairs, even in typical Dutch spring weather. The architecture of the adjacent sports centre provides a functional, modern backdrop for the colourful hustle and bustle.

The atmosphere on site is characterised by a lively dynamic and serves as a central meeting place for local youth and families from across the region. As dusk falls, the sea of colourful LED lights transforms the functional car park into a glowing festival mile. It is a place of direct experience, focusing less on nostalgic romance and more on a contemporary, professionally organised folk festival experience, which impresses with its easy accessibility and ample parking facilities.
