Sächsilüüte

Tomorrow is Sächsilüüte, a spring festival in Zürich. The festivities began today with a children's parade in downtown.



The final float in the parade was the Böögg.



Tomorrow, following a parade of the guilds, a bonfire will be set near the lake. The Böögg will be at the top of the bonfire. The quicker the Böögg burns and his head explodes, the better the summer will be. I'll miss the festivities tomorrow since I have to go out of town for work, but hopefully I'll catch it next year.

Of course, we can count on Sprüngli to make some cool looking cakes to celebrate Sächsilüüte.



More photos of Japan are still to come ...
