Zürich:

Sunday, 15 April 07 - Monday, 16 April 07

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.
