Escalade!

In Geneva, a big celebration is Escalade. 

They let the children dress up for school and the children prepare vegetable soup for lunch.

In the evening, the kids all get together in front of the school

First a parade, then some singing and after, some supper of vegetable soup, bread and cheese, hot tea or hot wine and ...

...blue candy floss!!

All followed by some crazy dancing.

A traditional chocolate soup pot is shared. Where there are lots of children, a giant one is brought out.

We had our own little one to share.

The marzipan vegetables inside and the 'cracker' lollies.
