About
The origin of this New Year's Eve custom in the Bernese town of Laupen dates back to the early nineteenth century. Originally celebrated on Christmas Day, this raucous tradition repeatedly faced prohibition attempts by town officials. Finally, the local priest succeeded in having the date changed to New Year's Eve.
