Bubikon Medieval Craft Market
Known locally as Mittelalter Handwerkermarkt im Ritterhaus zu Bubikon
The last edition has finished and the organiser has not yet published dates for the next one. Going by previous years, expect it around late September 2027 — but that is our projection, not an announcement, and nothing is settled until the organiser publishes the dates. Check with the organiser before you travel: myswitzerland.com.
About
An annual craft and living-history market held at the Ritterhaus Bubikon, a genuine 12th-century former commandery of the Order of St. John now run as a museum. Visitors can watch and try historical crafts (blacksmith, felt-maker, seamstress, stonemason, potter and more) alongside minstrels, jugglers and medieval food and drink. Organised by the Verein Turnei.ch.

The programme for the next edition hasn’t been published yet. It goes up here as soon as the organiser releases it.
