- As of 20.10.2026 nobody had published a main parade for 2027 — neither the town nor a carnival society.
🎉 Highlights on site
What sets this carnival apart from every other isn't in the date.
Carnival has no common date in Switzerland, but it has an anchor: Dirty Thursday, which depends on Easter.
That is also the honest limit of this page: the day is confirmed because a Guggen band wrote it into its calendar — not because a committee published a programme. As of 20 October 2026 no main Dietikon parade for 2027 appeared anywhere. So we don't list one.

📊 Carnival dates compared
None of the 3 neighbours in the chart starts earlier.
Each bar is an event. Dark = this town, light = the nearest ones. Reading a single date, you would never see that the next town sometimes celebrates a whole week earlier or later.
