At six o'clock in the evening, several hundred children proceed through the darkened town, carrying their own handmade lanterns and accompanied by the drums. At three stopping places, young and old sing hymns and carols to the accompaniment of the town band. On their way back, the city gleams in the festive lighting.

To end the evening, two merry songs are sung and each child participating receives a pastry. On the evening of New Year's Day, the lanterns are examined, with the best ones receiving prizes in kind.
