These parades are usually done in some of the German villages at night, on the 11th of November. But, Thomas' school does their own during the day (this year on November 9th), along with a brief assembly/play for the lower grades.

You can't see it, but there is a small bonfire there. I understand the bonfires in the villages are pretty large, but they kept it small at the school.
The children all received one of these after the parade, it's a pretzel.
Until later,

That is very interesting. I love the lanterns and the pretzel that's a lot of work. The kids look like they are having a good time. Hug the boys and take care. Love Always Mom
It's so cool that he gets to experience another culture like this. So much better than just vacationing there. I hope he remembers some of it.
