Shows and events at Bellewaerde
During the season, Bellewaerde puts on a big stunt and diving show. On top of that, there are events during the school holidays: Easter, the Summer Nocturnes in summer, Halloween in autumn and Bellewaerde Kerst in winter.
Azuria The Next Sultan Stunt & Dive Show
In the faraway land of Azuria, Sultan Kuku is looking for a worthy successor. Who will win the throne and his priceless sapphire? He sets a series of challenging trials to push the candidates to their limits. But as the competition heats up, ninjas lie in wait.
The show is free and is performed several times a day; you'll hear the times announced in the park and can find them in the app. There's no need to book. In bad weather you'll stay dry in the covered grandstand. Please note: the 2026 performances have finished.
Bellewaerde Kerst
From 5 December 2026 to 3 January 2027, Bellewaerde becomes one big Christmas park. In Magic Forest, illuminated mushrooms sprout from the ground. In Santa's Village you'll find Christmas stalls and can meet Father Christmas in his house. Dream Lights is a colourful light festival, and in Aztec Alps you can roller skate on the covered Aztec Roller rink.
The acrobatic show Lucioza tells the story of a young firefly who loses her lights. The 4D-Cinema shows the Christmas film Sleigh Ride, and Huracan runs as the Winter Express.
Opening times and tickets for Christmas
During Bellewaerde Kerst, the park is open from 11:00 to 19:00 on 5, 6, 12 and 13 December, and then every day from 19 December to 3 January. On 24 and 31 December the park closes at 17:00, and it is closed on 25 December and 1 January.
Online, a Christmas ticket costs €41 (from 1.40 metres) and €37 for children from 1 to 1.40 metres; without a fixed date you pay €48 and €43. Children under 1 metre go free (as of November 2026). More on Bellewaerde's Christmas website.
Halloween
Around Halloween, Bellewaerde turns orange, red and purple, with pumpkins and spooky scenery. In 2026 the event ran from 17 October to 8 November. Haunted houses have clear scare levels, so you know what suits your fright threshold. Families can easily avoid the scary zones.
For little scaredy-cats there's the free maze Pumpkin Panic in Mundo Amazonia, the free children's haunted house Spooky Birthday and Voodoo Villains.
Easter and the Summer Nocturnes
At Easter, children search every day between 15:00 and 17:00 for letters by giant carrots near the Bloemenkasteel. Once the word search is complete, children up to 12 get a bag of Easter eggs. In 2026 this ran from 4 to 19 April.
In summer, the park stays open extra late on Saturday evenings during the Summer Nocturnes, with street entertainment. In 2026 this ran from 18 July to 22 August.
