Enjoy a peaceful break and, with your visit, support projects for people with disabilities. During the run-up to Christmas, the “Luzerner Kerzenziehen” association organizes an annual beeswax candle-making event at Sempacherplatz (Vögeligärtli) in Lucerne. There are no limits to your creativity: long, thick, decorated, twisted, rolled, and curved candles—anything goes. The main thing is to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, take a break from the Christmas rush, and perhaps even make your first Christmas gift yourself. Candle-making takes time. So be sure to set aside at least two hours for your visit. Or leave your candles in the pavilion for free storage and finish your project on another day. Whether young or old, big or small—everyone is in good hands when making candles at the Vögeligärtli in Lucerne. Visit our wooden pavilion and let the pre-Christmas spirit sweep you away! During the pre-Christmas season, you can make beeswax candles during our opening hours. Over the course of these five weeks, more than 1,500 kg of wax is processed into candles in the three adjoining containers using eight wax pots. The proceeds from the candle-making go toward various projects for people with disabilities. Additionally, the proceeds support summer camps, shared living arrangements, and mobility assistance for people with disabilities.
