Historic Hanseatic Festival 2024
25. Oct 2024
until
27. Oct 2024
Wesel
The Historical Hanseatic Festival has been celebrated in Wesel for over 25 years. On the Hanseatic Mile from Brückstraße to Kreuz-/Korbmacherstraße, Hanseatic towns from Germany and abroad present their tourist attractions and regional products. Delicacies such as Salzwedeler Baumkuchen, “Heiße Hanseliebe” or sausage specialties from Mühlhausen promise an enjoyable tour.
The farmers' and medieval market is a hive of activity. Between Hohe Straße and Berliner Tor, more than 50 traders from Germany and abroad offer their wares. The goods on offer range from historical costumes and leather goods to jewelry made from silver cutlery or herbs. Musicians and jugglers create a medieval atmosphere throughout the city center.
An atmospheric highlight of the Hanseatic Festival is the historical parade with jugglers, musicians and torch bearers from the Berliner Tor to the Great Market on Saturday from 6.30 pm.
