The Whitsun procession
At the Ecomusée d’Alsace, a unique and captivating event is in the offing, bringing with it the splendor of spring. The Day of Pentecost, an Alsatian tradition that reawakens the magic of nature, and the ancient belief in its spirits. A must-see for all those who want to marvel, have fun and immerse themselves in the authentic Alsace of yesteryear!
The colorful spring procession features characters as astonishing as they are amusing: the snail barker, the street sweeper and the frost sniffer, all on horseback! But the star of the show is the Pfengschtflitteri, the embodiment of the spirit of nature. With his quirky and humorous speech, he will try to convince the villagers to spare him… or risk being thrown into the water to guarantee a good harvest! An original show that combines tradition and entertainment in an enchanting setting.
Whether you’re a fan of tradition, a lover of folklore or looking for a fun experience, this is the event for you. Don’t miss this immersion in a unique Alsatian tradition. Plan your visit to the Écomusée d’Alsace to experience this festive and authentic moment to the full!

About
Ecomusée d'Alsace
L'ÉCOMUSÉE D'ALSACE, A TRADITIONAL VILLAGE IN THE HEART OF NATURE
--
BUILDINGS & BIODIVERSITY
Today, the Ecomusée d'Alsace consists of a village of 80 buildings representative of Alsace at the beginning of the 20th century, all dismantled from their commune of origin and reassembled in the museum. Around the village, on an area of 97 hectares, you'll find 4 signposted trails to discover biodiversity, as well as agricultural areas in biological transition.
Be curious! Push open the door of each house to discover the treasures it contains: a converted interior, an exhibition, a craftsman's workshop or a stable with animals!

LABEL MUSÉE DE FRANCE
The Ecomusée d'Alsace boasts an exceptional collection of over 40,000 objects, reflecting the daily lives of Alsatians. When the museum was created in 1984, Alsatians became passionate about this adventure and began sending regular donations to the museum.
