Sechseläuten is a traditional spring festival in Zurich, Switzerland, celebrated on the third Monday of April. Its name, which translates to "the six o'clock ringing of the bells," marks the historical change from winter to summer working hours in medieval Zurich. The highlight of the event is the burning of the Böögg, a large snowman effigy filled with firecrackers, on a huge bonfire. The time it takes for the Böögg's head to explode predicts the coming summer's weather; a quick explosion indicates a warm, sunny summer. The festivities also include a colorful parade featuring the guilds of Zurich, with participants donning historical costumes and marching through the city's streets. This unique event draws locals and tourists alike, celebrating the end of winter and the arrival of warmer days.
