Candle dipping at the Sprützehüsli, Menzingen: the date is missing — the structure is not
✓ Checked at the source · as of 28 October 2026 · date still open
For 2026 the Frauen Menzingen have published nothing. That is the honest answer to “when?”. It is not, however, everything that can be known: the 2025 edition shows an event that had six different time windows across six days.

📋 Good to know before you go
- As of 19.10.2026 the organiser already lists the 2027 edition (26 November to 1 December 2027, now at the Ochsenmatt civil-protection facility) — there is no date for 2026. We infer neither a cancellation nor a date from this.
- Published structure of the 2025 edition, no guarantee for 2026: Fri 28.11 15:30–20:00 · Sat 29.11 14:00–17:00 · Sun 30.11 14:00–17:00 · Mon 1.12 15:30–20:00 · Tue 2.12 15:00–16:30 · Wed 3.12 13:30–16:30.
✨ Highlights on site
What sets this candle-dipping session apart is not in its run dates.
Most listings know two states: a date exists, or the page does not. Menzingen shows why that is too coarse. Nothing is published for 2026 — but what the event is, where it takes place, who runs it and how it is priced is all established. Only the calendar is missing.
And the structure of the last edition says more about this event than any date. Six days, six different time windows: Friday 15:30–20:00, Saturday and Sunday 14:00–17:00, Monday 15:30–20:00, Tuesday 15:00–16:30 — one and a half hours, Wednesday 13:30–16:30. No rhythm, no rule, six separate decisions. Expect “daily from X to Y” and you plan past reality — in every year this event takes place.
The third point is the pricing: by weight, in the organiser's own words. Of 58 recorded candle-dipping events, thirteen name pricing by weight; two name a flat price instead. That is not a detail but the difference between “a candle costs X” and “you pay for what you dipped” — and with children it is the difference between a budget and a surprise.

Menzingen is one of the 4 entries without a published date — they are not a flaw in the calendar but its most honest part. The ConvivaPlus candle-dipping overview lists 58 events, of which 54 have a documented date; the season runs from 23 September 2026 to 3 January 2027, and the densest day is 2 December 2026 with 29 events open at once.
In the canton of Zug the overview lists 3 events, and two have a date: Oberägeri in the Hofmatt foyer, in early November, and candle dipping at the Freiruum in Zug as a station at the winter market, one weekend in early December. Menzingen is the only Zug entry without a 2026 date.

Because a date from last year looks like an appointment and is not one.
At three places in this calendar: the Sprützehüsli in Menzingen, the Hofmatt foyer in Oberägeri and the winter market at the Freiruum in Zug. Confirmed are Oberägeri (early November) and the Freiruum winter market (early December).
The ConvivaPlus verdict
For families in the Ägeri valley and around Menzingen, the Sprützehüsli is a small, dependable event with likeable pricing: you pay for what you dipped. If you live nearby, check again in October — until a date exists, nothing can be fixed.
For a longer journey it is not an address in 2026: without a published date nothing can be planned, and the 2025 dates are no basis. If you need a confirmed date in central Switzerland, go to Oberägeri.
When we last checked: Organiser, venue, pricing by weight and the structure of the 2025 edition come from frauenmenzingen.ch, source read on 28 October 2026. NO date was published there for 2026; the six time windows belong to the 2025 edition and are explicitly without guarantee. We carry them as last year's structure and NOT as an appointment. The figures “thirteen by weight, two flat price” were counted on 14.09.2026 across the 58 entries in the calendar.

- ◆A missing date is an answer, not an empty field: for Menzingen nothing is published for 2026 — and that is the complete answer to “when?”. Anyone who instead finds the 2025 dates easily takes them as current; they keep circulating. We name them as last year's and do not carry them forward. That is less convenient and it is the only thing that is true.
