Fire February, Spring Awakening in March
An ancient festival of fire, noise, and joy to bid farewell to winter and welcome spring… together, young and old!
In Alpe Cimbra, when February is coming to an end, the community gathers for one of the most magical and entertaining moments of the year. It’s time to “drive away winter”!
How? With cowbells, whistles, wooden ladles and anything that makes noise! Children have fun playing, running, laughing… while the adults prepare a huge bonfire in the center of the meadow, often still covered in snow.
As night falls, the fire is lit and the celebration begins: dancing, singing, and storytelling around the flames that light up the sky. It’s a magical moment, where the bond with nature and the oldest traditions of Alpe Cimbra are felt strongly.
