My
holiday is now over and I will be writing a few Germany related posts
in the coming week or so. I hope you'll like them!
I
visited the 979th
Freimarkt
in Bremen, which is one of the oldest Volksfest
in Germany. It is a fun fair that has been held yearly since 1035,
with the exception of the wartime, and it lasts a couple of weeks
around late October. This was my second visit to the fair, and this
year we even got a good weather for some outdoor fun.
The
fair is huge and it's mainly situated on the Bürgerweide just next
to the main railway station, but there are also plenty of street food
stalls and medieval style stalls in the city centre of Bremen. There
is pretty much something for everyone, young and old: rides, sweets,
food stalls, drink tents, games, toys etc. I'm not really a type for
roller coasters and such, but I still enjoyed the visit just looking
around. I was also happy to see a lot of German vegetarian food in
the offering.
I
wanted to share some of my photos with you to show the good Stimmung
on
the fair ground. I had so much fun going there with my brother and
his family, who live in Bremen, but had especially hilarious time
laughing about the tiniest things with my small nephew.
If
you now got excited to visit the fair, unfortunately you'll have to
wait until next year, as today is the last day of the 2014 fair.
