Back to the Middle Ages

A Medieval Fair of fighting knights, craft demonstrations and Renaissance musicians transported visitors several hundred years back in time. Caponi Art Park hosted the Sunday afternoon event.

Did the knights gallop around with coconut shells?

That's always fun. I lost in a wrestling game against one of the Vikings at a fair in Haninge.

The medieval theme seems to be popular in so many countries, they have these here to and they're so much fun to watch.

I am dismayed that I keep forgetting to go there because I know that I'm missing some good times!!

The Middle Ages were fascinating but barbarous. Thank God we're living in the 21st century to enjoy mediaeval pageants. I wish you a fascinating week.

Love them. Back home in Germany visited many such fairs with friends, back when I still had long hair ;)

Please have a good Tuesday.

It must be the date... in a neighboring village of Venlo was this weekend also a back in time festival...Romans, Middle ages, Napoleon and second world war! And all in between! Fights, demonstrations and complete battlefields..
