Kerzenziehen Mellingen is a community-run candle-making event that brings families and visitors together for creativity, conversation and a welcoming local atmosphere. Open to all ages and experience levels, the event invites participants to make their own candles, with volunteers on hand to guide them through dipping, shaping, cutting and decorating. Guests can personalise their creations with prepared wax decorations and other details, making each candle unique.

The gathering also features a coffee room where visitors can relax and enjoy coffee, drinks, cakes and hotdogs. Alongside the public event, Kerzenziehen Mellingen has involved children and teachers from Schule Mewo in a creative school activity. The organisers rely on volunteers to help with setup, visitor support and food service, and welcome new team members.

Kerzenziehen Mellingen shares event information, photographs and details about beeswax, as well as its history and press coverage. Its 2026 event is scheduled for 7 November, from 11 a. m.

to 7 p. m., and 8 November, from 10 a. m.
