The street parades at Martinsfest are a common custom, especially in southern Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Children march through the streets with colorful lanterns, usually accompanied by a man on horseback who embodies St. Martin. People sing and walk until St. Martin finally shares his cloak with a freezing beggar. The story of St. Martin is celebrated anew every year and is an important festival, especially in kindergartens and schools, that the little ones look forward to. Because not only the move, but above all the handicrafts of the lanterns is a highlight for many children. If you are in a creative mood, we have the right thing for you.
