Brasschaat (Eurotoday) – WNTR Brasschaat opened its winter season at Bar Perron with music, food, and après-ski fun. Van Dale said 95% of spots are sold. Winter Village (7,000 m²) runs Nov 21, 2025–Jan 4, 2026, K3 performs, and De Bucketlist charity supported via Radio Park FM’s Glass Radio House Dec 6–21, 2025.
As VRT News reported, WNTR Brasschaat, in the province of Antwerp. Belgium started the winter season yesterday, Oct 31, 2025, with a large opening event at Bar Perron. There was music, drinks, and a festive crowd. Organiser Van Dale said the event attracts many people each year.
“Every year, we manage to draw a lot of people here. This weekend, we are already almost full. That is why we made the place bigger and added an extra bar,”
Organiser Van Dale said.
“We’re already 95 percent sold out for this winter. Many people come here with their families to enjoy a delicious meal and the cozy winter atmosphere together.”
What makes WNTR Brasschaat winter village a major attraction this season?
The event also features Scandinavian Kota Grill huts and a Swiss Raclette pop-up restaurant.
“There’s always a cosy atmosphere here,”
says Cato. Evi and Leen are also fans of the concept:
“Where we live, you don’t exactly have a winter bar like this, so it’s nice to come here now and then. The beautiful decorations and the new gin bar also add a lot of winter magic.”
On Monday, Nov 3, 2025, the organisers will start setting up the Winter Village. It will cover 7,000 square meters and has become one of the largest winter events in the province of Antwerp. The Winter Village offers food, drinks, entertainment, and winter activities. It draws visitors from across the region.
“We have now grown into one of the largest winter events in the province of Antwerp.”

“The secret of our success is that we create a real family feeling,”
says Van Dale.
“Every year, we work with a dedicated team, which makes many visitors feel truly at home.”
“This year too, there will be plenty of Christmas stalls and fairground attractions. Of course, there will also be an ice skating rink. We want to give people the feeling of spending a day at an amusement park.”
From November 21st, 2025, to January 4th
