Schwamendinger Chilbi

The 51st Schwamendinger Chilbi, the Neighborhood Festival Organized by Local Clubs

The legendary Schwamendinger Chilbi will take place on the weekend of September 4–6, 2026. The festival food stands, games, vendor booths, and, of course, the fair rides—all organized by local clubs—make the Chilbi a unique celebration for young and old alike. We are concerned about rising costs due to new requirements imposed by the licensing authorities. These requirements, their implementation, and the financial burden they entail pose a major challenge for the neighborhood association.

The weekend of Friday, September 4, through Sunday, September 6, is just around the corner. Over these three days, 45 local clubs will be able to set up their festival food stands, information booths, and various games and sales offerings right in the heart of Schwamendingen’s town center.

A wide variety of culinary delights, offered at affordable and family-friendly prices, make up the rich selection at this year’s Chilbi. As always, the selection is very broad. There will be salads, sausages, “Fischchnusperli,” Smash Burgers, meat skewers, pizza, raclette and other cheese dishes, apple fritters, Berliners, chocolate-covered fruit, and much more.

For music fans, several clubs are offering live concerts. For example, the Harmonie Music Club on Sunday morning, or various bands and DJs on Friday and Saturday evenings, as well as on Sunday, featuring all genres of music.

Both children and adults can get their adrenaline fix by visiting the fun fair rides, such as bumper cars, children’s carousels, amusement rides, and family attractions, as well as the “Insider”—a ride that’s almost legendary in Schwamendingen and very popular with boys.
