A brand-new vibe for JM Feest!
The opening night of Jumping Mechelen on 26 December has long been synonymous with music, celebration and a fantastic atmosphere. This year promises to be no exception!
De Party Trooperz zullen het middenplein in de Nekkerhal laten daveren, met knallende beats en een zinderende atmosfeer die het publiek zullen doen dansen tot in de vroege uurtjes.
Horse lovers will also have plenty to enjoy that evening. The entire Nekkerhal will once again be filled with atmosphere, cosy shops and tasty food stands. In the New Year Arena, you can watch thrilling competitions all evening long, while the Christmas Arena sets the stage for top-level sport.
Before the party kicks off, the Belgian Indoor Championship takes centre stage — a highlight year after year. The spectacular horse-swapping competition is also back on the programme. In this class, riders compete not only on their own horses but also on those of their fellow competitors. Who will be taking part? We’re keeping that under wraps for now. Stay tuned!
