Lausanne's Fete du Bois

Lausanne closed the school year with a city-wide parade - 
the Fete du Bois the children gather in the Place de Riponne square.
Decked in handmade costumes worked on all year, it's a culminating experience for students, teachers, & parents. Schools choose a common theme, interpreted differently by grade level.
"Cooking"
"Condiments"?
Tube mayonaisse!
"Fruit"
"Shellfish"
"Year of the Dragon"
"Artists"
The "Clowns" of Ecole Montriond; Madame Veronique below
