The active
members
They’re responsible for organising Zurich’s Advent season and transform the weeks leading up to Christmas into something truly special. The Verein Weihnachten in Zürich is always looking for new members who can make a positive contribution. Here’s a brief introduction to our current 29 members.
In 2021, the Advent season was very contemplative due to Covid-19. We will be back in 2022 – united and ready. We are very much convinced about that.
