Tössemer Dorfet

From August 14 to 16, 2026, Dorfet will once again take place around the Tössfeld schoolhouse. The large trees on the grounds will provide cooling shade even during another heat wave, and the culinary offerings are more diverse and international than ever, and our free stage program features the Klaus Egger Trio as the headliner—a band that has already performed at the Gurten Festival and Zermatt Unplugged.

Friday, August 14 – starting at 6 p.m.

I Viaggatori will kick things off with Italian music from the ’50s through the ’70s, followed by the Winterthur-based indie-pop band Plankton.

Saturday, August 15

The afternoon is for the kids: the children’s choirs Kolibri and Tweeties, the children’s band Nea Pinna, and the Science Show by the Natural Science Society will provide the entertainment. In the evening, the excitement builds: Flamenco al Golpe brings southern European passion to Tössfeld, Arpia Dilurio brings pop, indie rock, and EDM—and at 10:15 p.m., the highlight of the weekend follows: the Klaus Egger Trio, three modern-day court jesters, for young and old, for the wild and the gentle.

Sunday, August 16 – until 8:00 p.m.

The day begins contemplatively with an ecumenical service and the Cantabelli choir. This is followed by Pilates for everyone, the TV Töss gymnastics team, a New Style Hustle partner dance workshop, Michis Magic magic show, and the Kibori Orkestar with Balkan sounds, before The Blue Bluebottle Blues Band wraps up Dorfet 2026 with some blues.

Culinary Delights

No one has to go hungry at the Dorfet: In the festival tents and at over twenty booths, Töss clubs and vendors serve culinary delights from around the world—from TV Töss’s risotto to raclette, pinsa and arancini, Tibetan momos, Tamil curries, and Thai specialties to Hungarian langos and Alsatian tarte flambée. To go with it, there’s house-brewed beer from the Hopfenfisch Brewery, a reggae bar, and for those with a sweet tooth, crêpes, gingerbread, soft-serve ice cream, and frozen yogurt.

Fair and Family Activities

Around the stage and food stalls, the Dorfet remains a celebration for the entire neighborhood: At the fair, children’s carousels and drift carts spin their rounds, and there’s fishing, magic shows, and can tossing. Cevi Töss sets up its zip line, FC Töss hosts a goal-shooting contest, and the clubs attract visitors with face painting, a chocolate kiss slingshot, crafts, green-screen photos, and “Science Live.” Joachim Mantel’s Tössemer photo shoot enters its second round. And when the last note has faded away on Sunday evening, the Tössfeld schoolyard will be cleared and cleaned up—because the new school year begins on Monday.
