Meilen – Meilen fair 2027
What to expect
Chilbi Meilen 2027 takes place according to the official annual rule from 16.09.2027 to 18.09.2027. Here you can find all the important information for your visit to the Canton of Zurich.
Chilbi Meilen 2027: Date and background
The municipality of Meilen specifies a fixed rule: its Chilbi begins on the Thursday evening before the Federal Day of Thanksgiving, Repentance and Prayer and lasts through Saturday. The Federal Day of Thanksgiving, Repentance and Prayer falls on Sunday, 19 September 2027. This means the Chilbi runs from 16 to 18 September 2027. The dates have been derived from the official rule. A separate 2027 announcement with individual opening hours and specific attractions is still awaited.
Festival site and location
The large fairground of stalls takes shape during the traditional Chilbi in the squares by the village school and the municipal building. The municipality specifically describes the activity in the town centre as featuring numerous rides and food stalls. Dorfstrasse 100 therefore serves as a location guide. A precise site layout for the 2027 edition has not yet been published. When travelling to the event, you should also look out for road closures in the surrounding area.
Rides and festival offerings
The fair features a varied selection of attractions and several food stalls. In its general information, the municipality mentions hearty regional dishes, sweet treats and international cuisine, for example. This description characterises the fair, but is not a menu for 2027. Specific commitments from individual rides are not yet available either. We therefore avoid unconfirmed lists of showmen.
Chilbi Meilen 2027: Admission and opening hours
The public area of the Chilbi is listed as free to enter. However, rides, food and drinks often incur a charge. No confirmed individual prices are available for the 2027 edition. Daily opening hours for 2027 have not yet been published, so they are initially hidden in the calendar. Please note that individual stalls may have different opening hours later on. Information about discounts will be added once officially confirmed.
Getting there and traffic
Schulhaus Dorf and Gemeindehaus, Dorfstrasse 100, 8706 Meilen are useful landmarks for planning your journey. Roads and car parks in the surrounding area may be restricted at times during the Chilbi. Changes may also occur before the event itself due to set-up and dismantling. Please check the official traffic notices before your visit. If you are travelling by public transport, check the current timetable. Details of closures for 2027 have not yet been fully published.
Tradition and further information
The Chilbi in Meilen is a traditional event held before Swiss Federal Prayer Day. According to the municipality, it is considered a particularly large funfair on the right-hand shore of Lake Zurich. It should not be confused with the Suuser-Chilbi in Obermeilen in October. The two events have separate dates and a different format. This entry refers exclusively to the September Chilbi. You can find more events in the funfair and fair calendar. For the current year's edition, please also check the official organiser's or municipality's website. This also makes it possible to track any subsequent programme changes.
