Freimarkt

In the organizer's words:

For almost 1000 years, the 5th Bremen season has been celebrated in the last two weeks of October. For 17 days, the city on the river is turned upside down. Every year, four million people come from near and far to enjoy this superlative event: No other folk festival offers its visitors as many carousel attractions as the Bremer Freimarkt, with around 50 rides to get the stomachs of young and old tingling. Nowhere else do people know how to party as well as in the Hanseatic city on the Weser. Since 1035, the city has been celebrating its market fair year after year, cultivating one of the longest folk festival traditions in Germany.
