Flea Market at Ace (Switzerland)

Flea Market at Ace (Dec 7, 2025) – If this happens (weather dependent), it would be more of a small-scale or indoor-ish swap meet. Possibly the Ace might do a tiny Christmas market style swap meet. If it does go on, sellers likely have just little items, and much of it could be in the cafe area to keep warm. The crowd is smaller but dedicated – any chance to trade, they’ll take. It might merge with a holiday gift market vibe: vintage model cars, memorabilia and automobilia could sell well as gifts for collectors. If it’s too cold, this event might be skipped or transformed into an online exchange until spring. Assuming a few show up, it’s likely very casual – essentially regulars coming to have a coffee and, oh by the way, I have this part if you want it. There’s a sense of finality – this is definitely the last one for the year. Those present shake hands, wish each other happy holidays. The flea market concept will be back after winter, but for now, it takes a deserved break.

4×4 Car Meet (Switzerland)

4×4 Car Meet (Dec 13, 2025) – A 4×4 meet for all vehicles with all-wheel-drive, slogan “Allrad und 4×4”​. In mid-December, this doubles as a winter preparedness meetup. Participants might show off their 4×4 cars’ snow prowess – Subarus, Audis with Quattro, 4×4 SUVs, maybe rally cars (Mitsubishi Evo, Subaru STi) – any car where all wheels drive. With likely snow on the ground or impending, some could do playful demonstrations in safe areas (gentle drifts or traction tests). It’s an interesting mix: not purely off-roaders (though they’ll come), but also sporty AWD cars and everyday 4WD vehicles. The common thread is appreciating the benefits of four driven wheels: better traction, performance, capability. Discussions might range from “best winter tires for AWD” to “craziest off-road experience in a 4×4.” It’s a meet that cuts across usual categories (off-road, sports, luxury – many segments have AWD now). Thus you might see a Porsche 911 Turbo (AWD) parked near a Land Cruiser, next to an Audi S4 wagon, next to a Lancia Delta Integrale. It’s a unique gathering that highlights how far AWD tech has come – from rally roots to mainstream. And what better time than winter to celebrate it? Attendees likely plan some group drive to a snowy locale after, to truly exercise their machines.

V8 Winter Meet (Switzerland)

V8-Winter-Meet (Dec 14, 2025) – A winter meet for V8-powered vehicles, embracing the motto “No replacement for displacement”​. This is a salute to big engines in the cold season. V8 fans bring whatever has eight cylinders: classic American V8 muscle, European V8 sports sedans (AMGs, M5s), V8 SUVs or trucks, maybe even a couple of V8 bikes (if any crazy Boss Hoss around). In the crisp winter air, the rumble of V8s sounds extra hearty. Some may fit their cars with winter tires to actually drive them (imagine a Mustang on snow tires!), others may trailer or just idle them in the lot for the sound. The meet emphasizes that even in winter, displacement rules – these folks aren’t hibernating all their toys. Perhaps mulled wine and gingerbread are offered to keep people warm while they chat about horsepower. The gathering could include some technical talk: how to care for a carbureted V8 in winter, or comparisons of V8 soundtracks. It’s one more opportunity for enthusiasts to unite around that visceral element – the throb of eight cylinders. As an end-of-year meet, it’s likely smaller but very passionate. Picture a circle of rumbling cars, steam from exhausts rising into the cold air, with owners in Santa hats raising a toast to “big engines and good friends.” A wonderful way to rev out the year.

X-Mas Motorcycle Meet (Switzerland)

X-Mas Töfftreffen (Dec 20, 2025) – A Christmas motorcycle meet, literally a “X-mas bike gathering,” where Santa might arrive on a Harley instead of a sleigh​. It invites riders to dress themselves and their bikes in holiday fashion – the tagline mentions “Santa and his sleigh”​, with the sleigh being their motorcycle. Bikers are a hardy bunch; even in late December, many will show up if roads are clear (and some even if not, with appropriate tires!). Expect a lot of red suits, fake white beards over helmets, and tinsel-wrapped handlebars. The meet could involve a charity ride – often such Santa rides collect toys for kids or fundraise. The Ace being the host means after a possibly short symbolic ride, they all converge there for hot drinks. The atmosphere is festive and humorous – seeing a convoy of Santas on bikes is sure to draw smiles. Various motorcycle types join; it’s not about make or model now, just the holiday joy and two-wheel spirit. Think of it as a biker holiday party, engines included. They celebrate camaraderie, the season of giving, and the shared thrill of riding – proving that for true riders, there is no off-season. This cheerful event likely garners media or public attention too, as it’s visually fantastic. It’s all in good fun and in good cause, highlighting the warm heart of the biker community beneath all the leather and chrome.

X-Mas Vintage Car Meet (Switzerland)

X-Mas Oldtimer-Meet (Dec 21, 2025) – The final scheduled event: a Christmas Classic-Car Meet​. It’s a novel idea – many classics are stored by now, but those that can come out (or be trailered) get a holiday twist. “Santa and his sleigh” applies here as well​ – perhaps someone decorates their classic car as Santa’s sleigh, complete with reindeer cutouts on the hood. The sight of a vintage Ford Model A or a ’57 Chevy adorned with Christmas lights is pure magic. Owners might dress in period costumes with a Santa flair (imagine a Victorian-era Santa for a 1910s car). This meet is more for show than driving – it’s about displaying these classics one more time in the year, with a festive backdrop. Christmas music might play from a gramophone or classic car radios. Hot punch and cookies could be shared. There’s a strong sense of community and gratitude – an almost family-like gathering of the classic car circle to wish each other happy holidays. Kids can take pictures with “Santa’s classic sleighs.” It’s a heartwarming close to the Ace Cafe event calendar. Enthusiasts reflect on the year’s highlights and perhaps even toast to those who maintain this vibrant community. As snowflakes possibly start to fall, the oldtimers head home (or into trailers) one by one, and Ace Cafe Luzern’s event season gently comes to an end on a very merry note.
