Around noon the aperitif concert begins.
Then comes the highlight of the day : the great procession. We will enjoy the parade in traditional costume, folk music and dances and sumptuous floats and carriages.
The party continues with entertainment in the streets and eventually ends… with a second sauerkraut !
