There was a medieval feast in Forest, one of the 19th municipalities of Brussels. It is over all well known for its concert hall (Forest National), which can hold more than 8,000 people. It hosts all kind of musicals, shows, as well as music concerts, by a wide variety of music artists. Mamma Mia, Bharati, Abba show, Cliff Richard, Elton John, and many others have performed there.
It was a very sunny day so many people were present to participate in the medieval festivities.
The city hall
the entrance to the festivities
It started well : The first thing we saw was the long line of people waiting for the toilet !
No wonder after all the beer and wine and good food !
There were dances
and fights
A show with a skeleton puppet
men and women in costumes
Preparing for a fight with horses
As an oven was missing somebody tried to bake bread with two frying pans
The German stall called "the wild Rooster" had a lot of success with different kind of beers.
an elf sold elves !
a dragon watched over us
and this devil looked quiet scary ! I admired his boots !
leaving the place we just saw this real elf getting ready for a dance.
Awesome festival! I would have loved to have been there :)

ReplyDeleteGreat Fair. I just posted about a local Fair here. The difference is so--well different, hard to believe thay are on the same planet.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun. I hope you were dressed up for the occasion.I had to laugh when I saw the queue for the toilets. It's always the same no matter where in the world we live.

ReplyDeleteIt looks like the sort of interesting event that we would enjoy visiting, not sure about a puppet show with a skeleton though!
ReplyDeleteNice to see your pics and not have to brave the crowds!
ReplyDeleteI've seen where those are being held over here too but we've never been. It looks like it would be fun (except for the toilet lineup -- but that's always part of any crowded festival isn't it?)
