@newinzurich: Knabenschiessen is back in Zurich this weekend - and this is what the funfair (or Chilbi) part of the event looks like as captured beautifully by @alex_nikolsky_photo The traditional shooting festival dates back to 1656 and originally was only for boys (hence the name!) Today both boys and girls take part and as well as the shooting contest there is the funfair with lots of great rides! In fact it's the biggest funfair in Switzerland if I'm correct! It takes place from 12th - 14th September & please note some shops in the centre of Zurich will have half day closing for the event on Monday 14th. Fun fact my daughter was the "Shooting Queen " for her village one year! I Have a great weekend and if you need more ideas check out the latest What's On article on www.NewInZurich.com #knabenschiessen #zurich #zurichtraditions #shootingcontest #chilbi
