I love summers in Europe, there are local festivals all summer long celebrating anything and everything. I had the chance to attend a small Renaissance festival on a small lake here in Germany. They had booths full of wine, beer, food, and hand crafts, there was even a message booth. It was a great chance to try some local food and homemade wine products. You even had the chance to buy some ceramic mugs and wine cups.

 

People were dressed up in costume and they had entertainment in the form of fire dancers and fire spitters. The fire performers were my favorite part. Maybe because it was 90 degrees fahrenheit and they had will to be dancing with extra heat in the heat!

 

After the fire performances and gazing through all the homemade jewelry and demonstrations, you could walk down to the lake and watch the Viking ship they had. Later on in the evening they shot fireworks off at the lake for the end of the festivities.

I recommend visiting some summer time festivals if you are in Germany or Italy or other parts of Europe. Not only are they fun to photograph, they are a way to learn and soak up the local cultures. It truly was a fun experience.
