Technically these pictures were not taken in summer. But “summer’s day” is celebrated each year on Laetare Sunday, i.e. three weeks before Easter. After a spring parade through town a large snowman is burnt to represent the end of winter.
In years gone by the snowman was burnt in the town square. For years, the fire fighters have argued that this is not safe with so many people in the square, close to the burning effigy. Covid gave them the ammunition they needed and now the burning takes place in the gardens of the local castle. This picture is from ten years ago:
Sorry for the title. It’s local dialect.

We love it! The elementary school classes and nursery schools all join the corso, dressed as bees, flowers, butterflies, garden gnomes … I remember one year my classmates and I were dressed as clichéd cleaning ladies ready for spring clean up.
