OLMA 2026 + St. Gallen Herbstjahrmarkt

Hi everyone :) let's spend a Sunday together at OLMA 2026 in St. Gallen on 18th October, which is also the final day of this year’s fair! (Just to clarify: there’s no participant limit from my side, so you can join even if you end up on the waiting list!) OLMA is Switzerland’s largest public fair for agriculture and food, with a mix of regional food and drinks, animals, exhibitions, Swiss traditions, demonstrations and various shows. This year’s guest canton is Schwyz. I suggest meeting at 10:45 am in front of St. Gallen Hauptbahnhof at the Binäre Bahnhofsuhr. From there, we can head to the OLMA grounds together and spend the day exploring at a relaxed pace. Rough plan for the day: 10:45 am – Meet in front of St. Gallen Hauptbahnhof at the Binäre Bahnhofsuhr around 10.55 am – Head to OLMA together 11:15 am onwards – Explore the halls, exhibitions, animals and food/drink stands 2:15 pm – Optional arena programme: parachutists and army animals 3:00 pm – OLMA Jodlertag programme 4:00 pm – Pig race late afternoon: Continue exploring OLMA and/or check out the neighbouring St. Gallen Herbstjahrmarkt This is only a rough outline; there’s a lot happening throughout the day, so we can decide spontaneously what we’re most interested in seeing rather than trying to follow a strict schedule. The St. Gallen Herbstjahrmarkt runs alongside OLMA and has more than 200 market and food stalls as well as rides and attractions, including a Ferris wheel, bumper cars, a ghost train and roller coaster. Since 18th October is the final day, the Jahrmarkt closes at 7:00 pm. Tickets: an adult OLMA day ticket costs CHF 19 in advance (CHF 20 at the ticket counter). Students and apprentices pay CHF 14 in advance. I’d recommend buying your own ticket beforehand. If you would rather meet us directly at OLMA, that’s absolutely fine too, just send me a message so we can find each other! Looking forward to it! :)
