Dianavan, yes, it's still going strong; why the goat and the tower - well, a billy-goat is captured and put up on the tower for the three (?) days of the fair - something animal-lovers have been trying to stop for years on cruelty grounds - and the fair itself is a festival of carousal and arousal. There are theories that it's a fertility festival; certainly if the puck bows in your direction you're supposed to have a child within the year. Never been myself, not much into drinking.
