5. Swiss Cow Parade
In various cities throughout Switzerland in September, dairy cows are adorned with flowers and then herded down from their summer mountain pastures to be paraded through town. The ceremony is usually accompanied by music and a custom known as Chästeilet, when all the cheeses produced over the summer are divided among the owners of the cows, based on the amount of milk each animal produced.
