A brand-new vibe for JM Feest!
26 December, the opening night of Jumping Mechelen, has long been known for its festive atmosphere, music and good vibes. After three successful editions in the Christmas Arena, this year’s JM Feest is getting a fresh makeover. With a brand-new concept at the cosy central square in the shopping village, it promises to be another evening full of energy and fun.
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 really kicks off, the Belgian Indoor Championship takes centre stage — a yearly highlight. And this year, we’re adding a brand-new, spectacular rider swap class. In this exciting challenge, riders won’t just compete with their own horse, but also with their rivals’ horses.
How it all works — and who’s taking part — remains a secret for now. Stay tuned!
