Sabers and their families can participate in local St. Martin's Day parades in their town or another village. People can ask their landlords or local mayors for details about the date, time and starting point of their town's procession.

Most parades begin between 6 and 7 p.m. Since it often gets cold at night this time of the year, it's advisable to wear warm clothes.
