The Best Events in Halderberge 2026
Halderberge is buzzing with activities in 2026. From sporting challenges to popping music nights and spectacular motor sports, there is something for everyone. Below are three of this year's big crowd-pleasers.
Pulling Gastel - 2 May 2026
On Saturday 2 May 2026, Oud Gastel will once again be dominated by roaring engines, impressive machinery and sheer power during Pulling Gastel. This annual truck and tractor pulling event has been a household name in the region for years, attracting visitors from young to old.
What can you expect?
Tractor pulling is a spectacular motor sport in which specially prepared tractors and trucks pull a heavy tow truck across the track. The further the machine gets, the heavier the tow truck becomes. The result: excitement, plumes of smoke, brute force and an audience on the edge of their seats.
Who is it for?
Pulling Gastel is a real family event. Besides the competitions, you will find plenty of food and drink options and a cosy Kids Corner for the youngest visitors.
Hoeven four-day bicycle event - 14 to 17 May 2026
During the Ascension weekend, it is once again time for a true classic: the 53rd four-day cycle event Hoeven. From Thursday 14 to Sunday 17 May 2026, you will cycle for four days through the best of West Brabant.
