Kennesaw's Senior Pop Up Wednesdays series will offer a seasonal creative activity on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, with a Fall Candle Making Class at the Ben Robertson Community Center.

Scheduled from 10 a.m. to noon, the workshop gives participants an opportunity to make candles by hand while spending time with others in a community setting.

According to the City of Kennesaw's event listing, attendees will create two candles in 11-ounce containers using plant-based vegan soy wax, wicks and natural essential oils.

The class takes place at 2753 Watts Drive, Kennesaw, GA 30144, at the Ben Robertson Community Center.

For older adults interested in crafts, the session provides a structured morning activity with a finished project to take home.

What participants will make

The fall-themed workshop centers on the process of assembling handmade candles from materials selected for the class.

The city specifically lists vegan soy wax, candle wicks and natural essential oils among the materials to be used. The event description also indicates that lessons are part of each session.

Participants can expect a guided craft experience focused on the steps of candle making, rather than simply purchasing finished products.

Two 11-ounce candles give attendees a tangible result from the morning's activity. The completed candles could be enjoyed at home or shared as seasonal gifts, depending on individual preferences.

Because the event involves wax and fragrance ingredients, anyone with sensitivities should contact the organizer about the materials and accommodations before attending.

The public listing does not clearly establish all registration, pricing or capacity details in the information reviewed, so those should be confirmed directly before visiting.

A community activity for Kennesaw seniors

Senior Pop Up Wednesdays is part of the city's community programming at the Ben Robertson Community Center, where residents can find opportunities for creative participation and social connection.

A hands-on class can offer a different pace from a lecture or performance. Participants have something to work on together, which can make conversation feel natural during the activity.

For residents who enjoy making things, candle crafting is also an introduction to a practical hobby that combines containers, wax, wicks and scents.

The October 14 session runs for two hours, leaving the rest of the day open for other activities.

The city also lists additional senior programming at the community center, including game days and other pop-up workshops on later dates.

Before heading to the center, attendees should consult the City of Kennesaw event listing for current participation requirements and any updates.

The Fall Candle Making Class offers a midweek chance to try a seasonal craft, meet neighbors and leave with something personally made.
