Osterfeuer in Bremen

In the organizer's words:

The Easter bonfire is an old custom that originally served to drive away the winter. This tradition is still very popular today: piles of wood are usually piled up on Easter Saturday, which are then lit in the evening in a large gathering. Depending on the size of the pile, a program is held around the fire: Bread on sticks is baked, bands play music and stalls provide hot drinks and tasty treats.
