It's literally "Walpurga's' Night". Referring to Saint Walpurga who brought Christianity to Bavaria-- and who protects against plague and witches.
On her feast-- Walpurgisnacht-- they have bonfires to keep the witches and evil spirits away. Her relics are in the town that had the last witch trial in modern times, Eichstaett*.
There are identical things in other parts of Europe. Like in the North it is St. John's Eve.
People like burning shit.
[i]*that might be wrong. there might have been trials in Europe after Eichstaett.[/i]

@CopperCicada Bah, München sucks!
I know why I don't know it though, it moved from being in the superior district of Franken to the loser district that is Oberbayern!
I don't know anything outside of Franken.
