Schmerikon – Seechilbi Schmerikon 2027

The Seechilbi Schmerikon 2027 is expected to take place from Friday, 24 September, to Sunday, 26 September 2027. This period follows the last weekend in September, when the Seechilbi took place in both 2025 and 2026. The organiser has not yet explicitly confirmed a date for 2027. The event centres on funfair rides, club stalls, food and drink, and socialising in the village centre.

Seechilbi Schmerikon 2027: Festival site by Lake Zurich

Traditionally, the festival area is in Schmerikon near Bahnhofstrasse and Lake Zurich. There are stalls for attractions, games and food and drink at several locations in the town centre. For the 2026 edition, an organising team worked with clubs and local businesses to put on the funfair. Some festival tents also offered space for people to celebrate together. The current annual plan will show where rides and clubs will set up in 2027. Earlier site and stage plans are not automatically valid.

Rides and entertainment

The Seechilbi is known for its family-friendly mix of children's carousels, game stalls and larger rides. For 2026, the organisers mentioned attractions for children, tin-can alley and a varied market. However, these examples describe the previous edition and do not confirm the line-up of rides for 2027. We are therefore leaving individual ride details open until new participation is confirmed. The image accompanying this calendar entry is an original, labelled funfair illustration, not a photograph of the actual Seechilbi.

Local clubs, festival tent and food

Local clubs play a major part in the festival programme. They organise food stalls, bars, games and other activities for everyone. The Seechilbi 2026 also featured musical entertainment in the festival tent and a varied evening programme. This makes the event interesting even for people who do not want to go on rides themselves. It remains to be seen which music groups, food stalls and special activities will actually take part in September 2027. Names of past performers are therefore not listed as a confirmed new programme.

Seechilbi Schmerikon 2027: Admission and opening hours

The 2026 edition was explicitly advertised as having free admission. Entry to the publicly accessible Seechilbi site is therefore provisionally listed as free. Rides, some games and food and drink may cost extra. Full opening hours for 2027 have not yet been published. For 2026, the organiser lists Sunday opening hours from 10 to 17. This is the only fully documented time period and is provided as a provisional guide. Full closing times for Friday and Saturday are not available, so none have been invented.

Seechilbi and slowUp

In the 2026 edition, the funfair weekend coincided with a slowUp event on Lake Zurich. This attracted sports fans and walkers to Schmerikon, as well as families and fairgoers. Such events also require special traffic planning in the town centre. It has not yet been officially confirmed whether slowUp will take place at the same time in 2027. It is therefore not listed in the calendar as a confirmed programme item. Before visiting, check the current road layout and any possible closures.

Getting there and official information

Schmerikon is accessible by public transport via the railway station. From there, you can walk towards Bahnhofstrasse and the village centre. A visit is also easy to plan by train from the Obersee region. The official Seechilbi website has programmes and information from the organisers, but currently still shows the 2026 edition. You can find more Swiss funfairs in our funfair and fair calendar. The dates for the 2027 edition still need official confirmation.
