Yerseke at Sea 2027

In August, Yerseke, the mussel and oyster village of Zeeland, celebrates the sea. Yerseke at Sea is a day full of tastings, music and activities around the harbours, organised by proud local residents. The 2026 edition was the third.

What can you expect at Yerseke at Sea?

• Mussel & Oyster World: Growers from Yerseke show how mussels and oysters travel from the sea to your plate.
• Seafood Plein: Taste mussels, oysters and other seafood from local businesses.
• Regional market: A craft and regional market with products from Zeeland, plus a flea market and braderie in the village centre.
• Kids square: Fun and educational activities for children, and village games such as ring tilting.
• Sterkste Man van Yese: Contestants pull a lorry to win the title of strongest man.
• Music and fireworks: Live music all day and a fireworks display over the harbours at 22:00.

Practical information

The squares are open from 10:00 to 18:00, the Seafood Plein until 19:00. Yerseke lies on the Oosterschelde and is easy to combine with a day out in Zeeland.
