Martinsmarkt: the Most Festive You’ll Feel in November

0 0

Why should you head to Martinsmarkt?  Because it’s awesome! Dieburg’s medieval town fest kicks off the Glühwein season every November around Martinstag. The streets fill with kiosks of decorations, baskets, pottery, scarves, jewelry, wool socks…and Glühwein, Bratwurst, crepes, Flammkuchen, and cookies. Not to mention, a medieval market of leather goods, metalworks, soaps and other natural products, tapestries, medieval clothing, and more; as well as fire performers, song and dance, and medieval games for the kids…  Rides also keep the kiddos busy. The town is brimming with festive cheer!

Here are some photos to convince you to come on out!
