Meierblis
This May fire, or ‘Meierblis’ in the Texel dialect, dates back to 1789, according to the first written record. When winter gives way to summer, it is time to drive out the winter spirits and make way for the summer ones. This is achieved with the Meierblis, a bonfire made of (unpainted) waste wood and clippings. As night falls on 30 April (if this falls on a Sunday, it is on 29 April), the Meierblissen are lit. There is a public Meierblis in every village. After the fire is lit, visitors gather around the fire to roast potatoes and prepare other food. Meierblis is on the list of intangible Dutch cultural heritage and is definitely worth a visit if you are on Texel during this period.
