The decision to hold the Spring Happening in Houtvenne again in 2027 has been made to better organize the event calendar. In recent years, events alternated between Hulshout, Westmeerbeek, and Houtvenne on May 1st. Originally, the Spring Happening was scheduled for Hulshout in 2027, but since the Pentecost Festival was also planned there just three weeks later, the local administration deemed it inappropriate.
Given the close collaboration with largely the same associations and local traders for both events, it was decided to spread the activities more effectively. The new schedule is as follows: Houtvenne will host the Spring Happening, Hulshout will organize the Pentecost Festival, and Westmeerbeek will host Hulshout Feest. This ensures each sub-municipality has its own event, and all participating associations and traders get the chance to be involved.
The local administration looks forward to welcoming everyone and making it a pleasant event season.
