Sechseläuten (Daily Life 2026, by Til Bürgy) - Swiss Press Award

The head of the "Boeoegg" burns on the Sechselaeuten place in Zurich, Switzerland, pictured on April 28, 2025. The Sechselaeuten (ringing of the six o'clock bells) is a traditional end of winter festival with a parade of guilds in historical uniforms on horseback and the burning of the Boeoegg, a symbolic snowman, at 6 pm. The faster the Boeoegg explodes, the hotter the summer will be according to traditional weather rules. (KEYSTONE/Til Buergy)
