In February 2027 there are 4 events in the Eindhoven calendar, spread over 4 venues. Most of them are in markets (1), culture and exhibitions (1) and festivals and parties (1).
Our tips to put in your diary: Museum as Sundial (Saturday 17 October, Van Abbemuseum), Carnival in Eindhoven: Lampegat 2027 (Saturday 6 February, Markt) and Sustainable Weekly Market on the Wilhelminaplein (Saturday 17 October, Wilhelminaplein).
3 events are free, and 2 are fun with kids.
February is carnival month in Brabant. For a few days Eindhoven changes its name to Lampegat, and the city centre fills with costumes, brass bands and parties from the Markt to Stratumseind. The exact dates move every year with Easter, so check the Festivals and Parties page or our month pages.
Not into carnival? Many offices and schools in the region take a short break around it, and the museums and concert halls carry on as usual. Read our tips for nightlife and rainy days.
