International Steam Days Since 1982 International Steam Days are held during the long weekend of Pentecost (Saturday, Sunday and Monday). (2012 : may 26, 27 & 28) These run along with the Turnhout "City Park Festivities". The hours are on Saturdays from 9 to 18 hours, Sunday from 8 to 18 pm and Monday from 9 to 18 pm. Participants from all neighboring countries and sometimes beyond, bring their models to Turnhout. They store them in the exhibition or drive around with it on track (locomotives) and the avenues of the park (steam tractors and steam cars). Furthermore, the "Festival in the City Park" has still a lot of additional activities: entertainment, performances, music, a flea market (Sunday morning), children's games and much more. One section of the 'vessel Modelers' is present with bulky equipment in the adjacent pond.	Summer Steam Days Traditionally, the members and supporters of our club join with their locomotives in Turnhout, to drive on the tracks of the railway and exchange ideas about the hobby. This is continuous on the weekend closest to the holiday of August 15th ("Mother's Day"), and thus from year to year different. In 2012, the event will take place on Saturday August 18^th & Sunday August 19^th.
Closing of the Season The driving season ends on the Sunday of the last weekend beginning in September, but there is still one event after that : the "HALLOWEEN SPECIAL" on October 31.
