PUBLIC CANDLE MAKING IN THE YOUTH CENTER AND ON THE MÄRTPLATZ
Soon a special magic will once again be cast over Effretikon: the youth center and the Märtplatz square will be transformed into the annual candle-making room. The warm scent of beeswax fills the air and invites everyone to get creative. The Soziokultur Illnau-Effretikon team organizes and accompanies the three-week candle-making season from 18 November to 7 December 2025.

In addition to the offer for children and young people to make a candle together with their school class, the Socioculture team welcomes everyone to the public candle-making event. Whether with friends, family or alone, candle-making is a multi-generational meeting place to create, laugh and share beautiful moments together. If you need a break from being creative, you can enjoy refreshments and the winter atmosphere in the youth center. No previous experience is necessary. The Socioculture team and other helpers from Effretikon and the surrounding area will be happy to help everyone create their own work of art.

PUBLIC CANDLE MAKING AT THE EFFRETIKON YOUTH CENTER
On Wednesday, November 19 and 26, 2025, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., the doors of the Effretikon Youth Center will open. The hayloft will be transformed into a cozy candle-drawing room and the small bistro with warm drinks and atmospheric music invites you to linger.

PUBLIC CANDLE-DIPPING ON THE EFFRETIKON MARKET SQUARE
On Saturday, December 6, 2025, from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., and on Sunday, December 7, 2025, from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., the candle-dipping event will enter its final days and take place on the Effretikon market square. The large tent allows candle-making even in bad weather. The team from Soziokultur Illnau-Effretikon is keen to ensure that everyone can take part in the events. There are barrier-free toilets in the basement of the Effi-Markt during the event. People with special needs are welcome to contact the team. The Soziokultur Illnau-Effretikon team is looking forward to welcoming many familiar and new faces.
