Walterswil – Rothacker-Chilbi 2027

The Rothacker-Chilbi 2027 takes place from Friday, 13 August, to Sunday, 15 August 2027. From Friday, 13 August, to Sunday, 15 August 2027, the Rothacker-Chilbi organising committee invites you to Walterswil in the canton of Solothurn. The confirmed dates come from information provided by the village associations and current information from the municipality. This is not an event in the city of Solothurn, but a village funfair in Walterswil in its own right.

Rothacker-Chilbi 2027: funfair site in Walterswil

The funfair takes place in the Rothacker area of 5746 Walterswil. This is where local residents, former residents and visitors from the surrounding area gather for a sociable weekend. The event is family-oriented and run by local associations. Meeting up, games and food and drink stalls are therefore just as much at its heart as the rides provided by individual showmen. The organisers will decide on the specific stall layout for the 2027 edition.

Associations, stalls and regional tradition

The Rothacker-Chilbi is organised by a committee whose members include several Walterswil organisations. These include representatives from sport, theatre, horticulture and local associations. The municipality lists the funfair as a regular part of its public association activities. In 2026, associations and other interested parties were invited to set up their own stalls. Market traders and showmen can also register with the committee for 2027. However, applying does not mean that a specific stall has been confirmed.

Rides and activities for children

The village funfair is particularly aimed at families with children and local residents. Food stalls and games traditionally complement the market stalls. The organisers also accept applications from showmen. The specific rides that will actually be set up for 2027 have not yet been announced by name. We therefore do not list any rides from previous years without checking. The header image is explicitly just an illustration of a funfair and not a photograph of the Rothacker event site.

Rothacker-Chilbi 2027: admission and opening times

The open nature of a local village funfair suggests that you can visit without a general admission ticket. Accordingly, admission to the public festival area is listed as free. Individual rides, games, food and drinks may cost extra. Full, confirmed daily opening times for August 2027 have not yet been set. The application documents for stalls contain organisational information, but are not a complete, confirmed visitor schedule. We therefore deliberately do not give unverified opening or closing times here.

Getting there and practical information

Walterswil is in the canton of Solothurn. You can reach the Rothacker area via Rothackerstrasse. If travelling from other municipalities, we recommend planning your journey using regional train and bus services, as well as allowing for a possible walk. Larger parking capacity at the event site has not been officially confirmed for 2027. Please therefore check the latest information from the municipality and organising committee, and keep any access routes clear for associations and showmen.
