Küttigen's Turnip Lantern Parade: Built for Kindergarten – and What That Means for Older Siblings
✓ Checked at the source · as of 21 October 2026
Most turnip lantern parades are village affairs: if you have a turnip, you walk. Küttigen is different. The parents' association names its audience explicitly — kindergarten children and the forest playgroup — and assembles not on a square but at the class meeting points. Together those two facts decide whether the evening suits your family.

Each bar is a documented evening. Dark = this parade, light = the nearest ones. A parade lasts an hour and often falls on the same evening as another — read only a date and you miss that the next village sets off at the same minute.

What sets this parade apart from every other one is not in its date.
«Expressly welcome» is a polite formula, and it says more than it lets on. It means: this parade is not built for schoolchildren, but they may come. For a family with one child in kindergarten and one in third grade that is the decisive piece of information — the older one accompanies here rather than takes part.
That the parents' association and the school invite jointly explains both. An event organised through the classes needs no central assembly — and it lasts exactly as long as the youngest can manage: three quarters of an hour, 18:00 to 18:45.

Because they are organised through the school or kindergarten rather than the village.
The parades in the calendar set off between 17:30 and 19:00 in late autumn and last 45 to 60 minutes, mostly at walking pace. Walking slowly chills you faster than strolling — on short parades like Küttigen that matters less than on long ones.
The ConvivaPlus verdict
Küttigen does something rare in this calendar: it says who the evening is for. A 45-minute parade for kindergarten children is not a small village parade but a fitted one — and for families with four- to six-year-olds the clearest recommendation in this vein.
The caveat is organisational and hits precisely those who are new: without a child at Küttigen kindergarten you do not know the class meeting points, and the published location is the destination. Asking beforehand is not advice here, it is the condition for catching the start.
When we last checked: Times, audience and organisers come from the Elternverein Küttigen (as of 10 September 2026). Exactly where the class meeting points are is not published — that is the one detail you have to go and ask for.

- ◆A published location is not automatically the start. In Küttigen the new village school is the destination; assembly is distributed. That is the kind of detail that vanishes in an events calendar and decides whether you walk the parade or watch it pass.
