When is high season in Belgium 2026?
Based on the school holidays of Belgium's three language communities (the Flemish, French, and German-speaking Communities — they hold education authority, not the regions or provinces) — weighted by population — the calendar shows when Belgium sees peak season for holiday rentals.
High season · 7 wk
Shoulder season · 12 wk
Low season · 32 wk
Officially confirmed through 31. August 2026. For the rest of 2026, our source (OpenHolidays) hasn't published an official announcement yet. The classification below therefore uses the pattern from 2025 (the last fully confirmed year) as an estimate — the exact 2026 dates may still shift slightly.

How it's calculated
1
For each language community, school holiday dates are loaded — the source is the
OpenHolidays API.
2
For each calendar week, we count which language communities are on holiday — weighted by their importance as a source market. Where most guests come from counts the most.
3
The classification is peak-anchored: the densest week sets the benchmark, every other week is measured against it. That keeps the calendar comparable across years.
The calendar reflects holiday demand, not your actual bookings. Regional public holidays, trade fairs, events and weather come on top. A guideline, not a guarantee.
We currently source each language community from a single source only (OpenHolidays). We don't yet have a second, independent source to cross-check against — the dates are plausible but not (yet) cross-verified.
