Every summer, the Hanseatic city hosts a big party reminding of the 155 years of membership in the Swedish Kingdom. For one weekend the inhabitants of Wismar celebrate an impressive historic city festival together with guests from all over the world - the largest Swedish Festival outside of Sweden. From the market square to the Old Harbour the city offers Swedish traditions and customs, regional specialties and a colourful music and theatre programme for a cheerful atmosphere in Wismar's old town. The market square becomes a medieval army camp. The members of the Wismar shooting club and Swedish military-historical clubs wear magnificentuniforms, put on their sabres and rifles and re-enact historical battles. At the Old Harbour there is a colourful fair with handicrafts, tasty treats and the fast fun rides.
