Halloween - Soul Cakes

Thursday October 31, 2019    18.00 - 21.00

LiLi Centre, Alpenquai 40a, 6005 Luzern

The American Halloween tradition of “trick-or-treating” probably dates back to the early All Souls’ Day parades in England. During the festivities, poor citizens would beg for food and families would give them pastries called “soul cakes” in return for their promise to pray for the family’s dead relatives.

On Halloween, when it was believed that ghosts came back to the earthly world, people thought that they would encounter ghosts if they left their homes. To avoid being recognized by these ghosts, people would wear masks when they left their homes after dark so that the ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits.

Come and have a spooky good time with the whole family! We will be decorating the trunks of our cars in celebration of Halloween, as well as handing out sweets to the little ones. Don't forget to wear your best costume—we will be having a costume contest for both adults and kids!

Schedule: 

18:00 - 18:30 - Decorate cars

18:30 - 19:30 - Trunk-or-treating and "Best of" contest with prizes
