Walpurgis Night, celebrated on April 30th, is a festival marking the start of spring in parts of Europe, like Germany and Sweden. People often light big bonfires, which help chase away the cold and darkness of winter. The festival is named after Saint Walpurga, who was believed to protect people from evil spirits. On this night, people sing, dance, and enjoy being with friends and family. In some places, it's also believed that witches gather for a playful meeting. Walpurgis Night is a fun time when communities come together to celebrate the start of warmer, brighter days.
