Digitale Druivelaar 2026

The tear-off calendar "De Druivelaar," well-known and beloved in many Flemish homes, has a rich history dating back to 1915.

This digital version of De Druivelaar preserves the experience of the authentic product. You can see the daily ritual of tearing off a sheet on the screen, and you even hear the characteristic sound. As the front of the sheet disappears, the corresponding text appears on the back.

The app also offers several new features: you can forward the sheet you just viewed to friends, acquaintances, colleagues, and so on. This way, you can always surprise them with a funny joke, a fact, or a tip from the "Where to?" section.

This last section gains an extra dimension with the Digital Druivelaar. Many "Where to?" tips are directly linked to the organizer's website. This way, you can immediately find all the information about the planned event online.

The app also alerts you to the name holidays of contacts saved in your address book.

Those looking for a name for their future child will find a handy tool in the Digital Druivelaar, which lists all the names that appear in the tear-off calendar. This includes names from the distant past that might soon be back in fashion. Perhaps your family will soon be expanding with a cool Reinout, Rogier, or Edward, or a sweet Rachel, Florine, or Hadewych.

Every day, you can also find out more about a saint being celebrated or a specific event associated with that particular day via a Wikipedia link.

About De Druivelaar

With its 111th edition, De Druivelaar is still completely up-to-date. Zwevegem printer René Nuttin first launched the tear-off calendar in 1915. The name comes from the large grapevine that grew on his veranda at the time. Because Nuttin had no successor, he left De Druivelaar to Drukkerij Strobbe in Izegem at the beginning of World War II, which had been compiling and selling the tear-off calendar since 1942. Only in 1944 did the calendar not appear due to the paper shortage and staff shortages caused by the war.

The 2026 edition traditionally contains many sayings, countless jokes, and regular columns.
