A few weeks ago I jokingly said we need a 'Dance into May'. It's an old tradition in Germany, to finally end winter and get rid of the evil winter ghosts. How it is celebrated is different from region to region. The last Dance into May we had when I was a kid, so quite some time ago.
Usually our village celebrates during Mai a but our usual place to celebrate got caught in a bad storm and was heavliy damaged and we need to build parts of it back up. So I jokingly said we could do a dance into May instead and it spiralled from there...
We had enough people to plan and help and did it. We celebrated in the afternoon with coffee and cake for the old people and a shooting competition. In the evening we moved things inside and had our Dance. We had many people come, a good time and after 2 years of Corona with celebrations being limited it was exactly what was needed.
