Dies Romani - Roman Festival
Hello! As early as the 4th century, the Upper Rhine region was a border area: where France and Germany meet today, Romans and Alemanni once lived side by side. That’s why, on the weekend of September 26–27, we’re celebrating the world of the Romans and Alemanni at the end of antiquity.
Here’s what you can expect at the festival:
- Legionary groups MILITES EXPLORATORES, HERCULIANI SENIORES, and HERCULIANI IUNIORES with military demonstrations and a look at camp life
- Roman and Alemannic crafts
- Great hands-on activities like creating mosaics, pottery, making jewelry, and much more
- Roman games
- Become a Roman yourself: with costumes, hairstyles, and makeup
- Stalls selling historical crafts and Roman goods
- Historical fashion show
- Roman dishes to sample
- Savory and sweet dishes, as well as drinks
- And much more!
