Sechseläuten
Sechseläuten parade, Zurich
We were able to go to the Spring parade in Zurich with the kids. We met up with Mike and Sims and their kids. It rained, hailed, rained, got sunny, then rained some more....but the kids really enjoyed it. Liani had a blast seeing the bands with the loud drums go by, as well as the horses, colorful carts, etc.
Here are some pics of it...
Liani having a great time.
Every year the guilds of Zürich and the townspeople celebrate with great gusto their traditional spring festival, Sechseläuten. The celebrations get underway on Sunday already, with a charming and colorful children's parade. On Monday is the procession of the guilds to the bonfire where the "Böögg" (effigy representing the "Old Man of Winter") is burned six o'clock in the evening, sharp.
