Tanks in Town
The last edition has finished and the organiser has not yet published dates for the next one. Going by previous years, expect it around late August 2027 — but that is our projection, not an announcement, and nothing is settled until the organiser publishes the dates. Check with the organiser before you travel: tanksintownofficial.com.

An armoured column of Shermans, Chaffees, Pershings, tank destroyers and half-tracks retraces the original route into the city centre, alongside a historical camp, militaria fair and amphibious demonstration with the Belgian Navy.
