Albanifest Winterthur 2027: confirmed date

The Albanifest Committee has officially announced the 2027 edition. The large Old Town festival takes place from Friday, 25 June to Sunday, 27 June 2027. The event celebrates connections between clubs, cultures and visitors. A large funfair, music, dancing and festival catering are also part of its established character. The specific stage programmes and times for 2027 will be announced separately. Therefore, older schedules should not be relied on without checking.

Where is Albanifest held?

Albanifest turns Winterthur's Old Town into a large festival site. Key landmarks include Kirchplatz and Marktgasse. Funfair rides, market stalls and food outlets are spread across several areas. The festival site is therefore larger than a single market square. The exact locations of stalls for the 2027 edition have not yet been fully confirmed. Check the organiser's current site map before your visit.

Funfair rides, clubs and music

Albanifest is a city festival with its own funfair area, not just a funfair. The organiser describes festival catering run by local clubs, free concerts and dance performances. Chinder-Albani is also a family-friendly feature. According to regional event information, there are usually more than 50 stalls and around 35 rides. This gives an idea of the festival's character, not the already confirmed line-up of rides 2027. Individual rides and performers have not yet been fully announced.
