Journey to Sechseläuten Festival

It's again that time of the year, when Zuerich sentences winter to death and burns it at the stake, as part of the Sechseläuten spring festival. The rite features a very colorful parade, where all the historical guilds show their best dresses, and culminates in the burning of the Böög - a snow puppet representing winter. Tradition has it that the shorter it takes for the head to explode, the hotter the summer will be.

Let's meet at 2pm under the big purple angel of Zurich train station and follow the action.
