"Today marks the first day of daylight saving time in Germany this year. Cold winter days are fading away and the warm summer days are around the corner. People gather here in Weinheim, a small city in southwest Germany, to greet the arrival of spring with their own traditional procession - the Summer Day Parade. Around 2,000 people will take part in this year's parade, most of them are children. They parade through the old town of the city with a so-called 'magical stick' in their hands, which represents hope of spring and summer. The highlight of the event is the symbolic burning of the 'snowman' on the castle park, expressing the final victory of spring over winter."
