About
Räbeliechtli are lanterns carved from turnips, a Swiss autumn tradition, and this is Albisrieden's own neighborhood procession of them. Glowing floats wind through the streets after dark while bands play along the route. It feels like a local school and community night rather than a big city show. It suits preschoolers and primary-age kids who are happy to be out in the cold and dark for an evening.
Where it is
Procession start, In der Ey / Langgrütstrasse
