Frequently Asked Questions
What's at the market?
There are lots of stalls selling snacks, warm drinks and gifts. Local associations also run stands with food.
Is there entertainment?
Yes. There's live music, street entertainment and Christmas fun for all ages.
What's different this year?
Lauweplaats has been renovated, so the market is set up a bit differently this year. The layout is decided once vendor registration closes.
How can my association run a stand?
Fill in the association registration form by 15 November. You can rent up to two spaces in the tent on Lauweplaats or set up your own stand in the centre streets. Tent spaces go first to associations recognized by the City of Menen. Your spot is only confirmed once you get a confirmation email.
Can market traders and food trucks take part?
Yes, through a separate registration form. Stalls must be fully decorated in a winter Christmas style. The organizers try to fit everyone in unless too many stalls sell the same item.
