Sechseläutenplatz, Zurich, Switzerland
Der Sechseläutenplatz liegt am Rande der Zürcher Altstadt zwischen dem Bellevue und dem Opernhaus Zürich. Er wird vom Utoquai und der Theaterstrasse begrenzt. Das stark befahrene Utoquai und die dahinterliegenden Parkanlagen trennen ihn vom Zürichsee. Auf der Theaterstrasse hingegen verkehren nur öffentliche Verkehrsmittel.

Sächsilüüte - Sechseläuten Zuerich
Every year, the guilds of Zürich and the general public celebrate their traditional spring festival: the Sechseläuten. The celebrations start on
Sunday with a colourful children's procession. This is followed by the main festival on Monday: People in historical guild costumes, 500 horses, 30 marching bands, together with 50 carriages and coaches, parade through the city centre to Sechseläuten-Platz on Lake Zürich. There, at 6 p.m. a pile of wood, on which the 'Böögg' a symbolic snowman sits enthroned, is set on fire. The quicker his head catches fire and explodes, the finer the summer should be.

SECHSELÄUTEN 2013 - SWITZERLAND TODAY, ZUERICH CITY & LAKE/ 04.15.2013 PART 1
Phone: SONY XPERIA
Das Sechseläuten, oder Sächsilüüte, ist das jährliche Frühlingsfest in Zürich.
Jährlich im Frühling verabschiedet Zürich mit dem Sechseläuten die kalten, langen Winternächte mit farbenprächtigen Umzügen von Kindern und Zürcher Zünften - und als spezieller Höhepunkt, die Verbrennung des Winters in Gestalt des Böögg!
Mit dem Verbrennen des Bööggs soll der Winter vertrieben werden. Je kürzer die Brenndauer ist, desto schöner wird der Sommer. Dies ist zumindest die Meinung der Festgemeinde.
Der Anlass ist jedes Jahr ein grosser Publikumsmagnet und ein lang ersehntes, freudiges Ereignis!
***********************************
SECHSELÄUTEN IN SWITZERLAND
Sechseläuten (Swiss German: Sächsilüüte) is an old spring festival that occurs in Zurich every year on the third Monday of April. The rite culminates in the burning of theBöög - a figure of a snowman symbolizing winter.
What do people do?
The procession of the guilds (Zug der Zünfte) to the Sechseläutenplatz, a square in Zurich, sets off the festivities. At 6:00 p.m. (18:00), the figure of a Snowman whose head is filled with firecrackers is burned at the stake. According to lore, the faster the Böög's head explodes the more pleasant the following summer will be. Thousands of Zurich's inhabitants usually watch the spectacle and round off the day by using the remains of the Böög's stake as a barbecue.
Public life
Sechseläuten is not an official holiday, but many businesses, offices and banks close for the day. There may be some minor traffic delays in the afternoon due to the procession of the guilds.
Background
The name of the festival literally means to ring six and refers to a medieval tradition. According to a law from 1525, the end of the working day was delayed from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. (17:00 to 18:00) every year at the March equinox. The switch was marked by the ringing of the cathedral's bell.

Sechseläuten Spring Festival 2017 Zurich, Switzerland
The most explosive weather forecast in Switzerland – a Böögg (snowman effigy as a symbol of winter) is burnt during the Sechseläuten spring festival.
The procession of the guilds to the bonfire comprises 3,500 guild members on foot, 350 horsemen, 50 horse-drawn parade floats and 30 music ensembles. The parade starts at the lower end of the Bahnhofstrasse and finishes at Sechseläutenplatz, where the bonfire with the Böögg is waiting.
6.00pm: The Pyre is Set Alight
The huge bonfire in the middle of Sechseläutenplatz is set alight. Tradition has it that the faster the Böögg’s head – which is packed with firecrackers – explodes, the finer the summer will be.
This year the time that Böögg took to explode was approximately 9 mins! Close to what I guess of 9 mins 27 secs.
Does it mean we'll be having a beautiful summer this year? Let's find out! :)
