Maienzug-Brunnen, 7.07.2023, 5000 Aarau

38 fountains and the Heinrich Zschokke statue are elaborately decorated with flowers every year on the first Friday in July, from traditional to fancy. Maienzug, by the way, has nothing to do with the month of May. 400 years ago, there was an old school custom. Teachers went with their students into the forest to cut fresh rods. At that time, rods were also called «Meyen», which gave the Maienzug its name. Between 9h30 and 11h30, a team of city guides will tell historical facts, anecdotes, and stories about the Maienzug at seven locations.
