Tonight (4/30) is 'Walpurgis-Night' (also called 'Free-Night'), the night of the witches. In old days, people thought the witches were dancing around a huge fire and perform all their black magic during that night.
An old tradition about this is still active here in Germany: Young people use to play all sorts of practical jokes during that night. Wrapping cars with toilet paper all over, hoisting bikes or newspaper vendor boxes up into a tree or on a roof, or coating all the entrance doors in entire streets with razor foam (just as if 'black magic' were used).
Is there something similar in the American culture? Just curious...
