Wädenswil – Chilbi Wädenswil 2027
What to expect
Chilbi Wädenswil 2027 has been confirmed by the organiser and takes place from 21.08 to 23.08.2027. Here you can find the dates, the fairground and more visitor information.
Chilbi Wädenswil 2027: official dates
Verkehrsverein Wädenswil confirms the next Chilbi will take place from Saturday, 21 August, to Monday, 23 August 2027. These dates also follow the traditional rule of the Sunday after Bernhard on 20 August. Wetziker Chilbi 2027 also takes place on the same weekend. However, the events are independent of one another. Verkehrsverein has already started planning. Detailed times and the final line-up of rides are still to come.
Chilbi on Lake Zürich by the station
Wädenswil Chilbi takes place around Seeplatz, directly on Lake Zürich. The fairground is very close to Wädenswil station, making it particularly convenient to travel by train and bus. Market stalls, food and drink options and fairground rides are spread across the designated areas. The final locations of individual rides may change in 2027. An official site plan therefore remains authoritative.
Rides and market stalls
Verkehrsverein describes Wädenswil Chilbi as a large fair by the lake. According to its overview, it has room for around 40 fairground rides. More than 100 market and food and drink stalls are also part of the usual set-up. These figures are estimates for the event, not individual participants guaranteed for 2027. The specific rides will be announced later. We therefore do not list any unconfirmed attractions for now.
Chilbi Wädenswil 2027: admission and opening times
Admission to the public Chilbi site is listed as free. Rides, shopping and food and drink may incur costs. A confirmed price list for 2027 is not yet available. Verkehrsverein cites the three-day run from Saturday to Monday as a general tradition. However, the detailed schedule for the next edition is still to come. We therefore do not show any unconfirmed daily opening times for now.
Getting to Seeplatz Wädenswil
The Chilbi is very easy to reach by public transport, as the station is nearby. Verkehrsverein expressly recommends leaving your car at home if possible. The walk from the available car parks may also be longer. So check current train and bus connections. For possible road closures and parking regulations 2027, follow the organisers' later updates.
Bernhard's Day and the Chilbi tradition
The date is based on the feast day of Saint Bernhard on 20 August. The Chilbi traditionally runs from Saturday to Monday around the following Sunday. The exact dates for 2027 have already been confirmed by the organiser. The fair remains independent of the Wetziker Chilbi, which also takes place at the same time.
