The backdrop of the festival forms the impressive brewery and the middle ditch, where about 30 market stalls and a Schaulager are built up. Here visitors have the opportunity to experience life in the Middle Ages up close: everything is offered from culinary art to weapons to handicrafts. Philip Stadelmayer, who has been active in the medieval scene for over ten years, not only visited many markets in Austria together with his family, but also brings his extensive knowledge into this festival.
a festival for the whole families
The medieval festival in Eferding promises entertainment for young and old. The program includes entertaining attractions such as fire shows, acrobatic demonstrations and performances by two music groups. A show fight group from Clam Castle and a historic dance group ensure a varied supporting program, while a magician and the Kasperl make the children's hearts beat faster. The culinary offer is particularly appealing: from honey -sweet mead to hearty roast to handmade jewelry and natural cosmetics, the selection ranges. The forging of small everyday objects such as medieval forks is also on the plan. Ritterturniere.com emphasizes that the market stalls offer a unique experience with elves and dragon characters that are very popular with the small visitors.
The city of Eferding no longer promotes the festival due to the tense municipal treasury, but the organizers have found paths to realize the event. By adapting the market stand fees and the search for sponsors, it has been possible to establish a voluntary donation model for admission, which makes it accessible to everyone. Families in particular get their money's worth, because the colorful hustle and bustle full of fairy tale counters and court fools ensures a journey through time through the centuries without having to overuse your wallet.
