Attaching the eggs (after all this is a fertility ritual...):

Of course there are dancers:

We did not stay 'till the end, too much hot sun and slow progress.
But the pork roast was good ;-)

A few more can be found here (https://images.afximages.com/Events/Maibaum-Parsdorf-2018/n-434v6m).

To me it looks smaller than the one our village raised last year (that was 32m if I remember correctly) ;-)
But I might be wrong...
