Sechselaeuten is a traditional guild holiday in Zurich. Monday was free, and I took the opportunity to go check out the guild parade. Quite impressive, plenty of people attending, colorful costumes, good mood. More details about the holiday here.
My photographic insights below.

And a small movie depicting a full guild parade: children, fanfare, guild members, alegoric carriage. Missed only the horses at the beginning.
