Walpurgis Night refers to the night from April 30 to May 1 and is an old traditional festival celebrated mainly in Central Europe. Its name comes from Saint Walburga, whose feast day falls on May 1. At the same time, the origins of Walpurgis Night go back much further: long before Christianity, the transition from winter to spring was celebrated during this time.

Many legends and beliefs are associated with the night. In the past, it was believed that witches and spirits gathered on this night. To protect themselves from it, people would light fires and make noise to drive away evil forces.
