The Silvesterchlausen is an old winter custom from the canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden and its communities in the hinterland. It is practiced with great dedication and passion and is an impressive experience every year. Two dates are important: the "New New Year's Eve" on December 31 and the "Old New Year's Eve" on January 13. If December 31st or January 13th fall on a Sunday, the New Year's Eve lice are out and about the day before (Saturday).
