Buchs SG – Buchser market fair with funfair (autumn) 2027

The Buchser market fair with funfair 2027 is provisionally scheduled for its autumn edition from Friday, 5 November, to Sunday, 7 November 2027. The town of Buchs in the canton of St. Gallen holds a spring and an autumn edition every year. The autumn date 2026 ran from 6 to 8 November; no separate date for 2027 has yet been confirmed on the town's website. Therefore, the corresponding first weekend in November is explicitly listed as a forecast.

Buchser market fair with funfair 2027: autumn edition

Marktplatz by Werdenbergersee

The funfair and market are held at Marktplatz near Werdenbergersee in Buchs SG. The combination of rides, market stalls and a lakeside setting makes the event a popular meeting place. There is a range of rides, games and food stalls. You do not have to set aside the whole day for rides: you can also stroll around the market and enjoy the atmosphere. The exact layout of the stalls and attractions is decided afresh for each edition.

Market and regional specialities

According to official town information, the market traditionally has more than 70 stalls on Saturday and Sunday. You can find items such as clothes, leather goods, toys and jewellery. There are also typical funfair treats such as Magenbrot, candyfloss, roasted almonds and savoury dishes. This figure describes the usual market format, not a confirmed list of traders for 2027. There may also be activities organised by local associations and musical performances, but these are only confirmed in the programme for each year.

Rides and event programme

The town announced that the funfair would open on Friday at 16 o'clock and from 11 o'clock on Saturday and Sunday in 2026. At the time, there was also a musical programme as part of Hüttengaudi. No specific performers or attractions from that programme are being carried over to 2027. It has not yet been confirmed which showmen will bring their rides to the market. The attraction links are therefore left empty for now. Check the latest town flyer later for activities for children.

Buchser market fair with funfair 2027: admission and opening times

The public Marktplatz is usually open to visitors without a general admission ticket. Rides, games, shopping and food are charged separately. The town has not announced a general admission fee for this market. The exact closing times for the 2027 edition have not yet been published. The previously mentioned opening times for 2026 do not provide a complete daily schedule either, so the MEC opening hours are being left blank for now rather than inventing an unconfirmed closing time.

Getting there and official sources

Marktplatz is by Werdenbergersee and can be reached from the centre of Buchs. Regional bus and train services are available for your journey. Parking close to the market may be limited by stalls or set-up work. The official Buchs town website describes both market editions and publishes new information.
