Räbechilbi Richterswil – Turnip Lantern Parade

November 14, 2026

Starting at 3.00pm
Students from Richterswil are selling their artistically carved turnips. More than 20 market stalls, scattered throughout the old village center, offer grilled sausages, raclette, cakes, and other treats.

Starting at 4.00pm
Open-air concert with various brass ensembles at Wisshusplatz,along Poststrasse and at the Tertianum. As dusk falls, the gourd lanterns will be lit, and the village centre will become a fairy-tale stage. The illuminated fountain will shoot magical bursts of light into the night sky at 5.30pm and 8.30pm.

At 6.00pm to 7pm: “Räbeliechtli” parade
The highlight of the evening: Schools and clubs from Richterswil and Samstagern have created over 45 designs using turnips, which are paraded through town adorned with candles. This year, the parade will start at two locations – in the village and by the lake.
