Historical processions

One of the most popular highlights of the celebrations every year is the costumed procession from the Gothic and Renaissance periods. This year, a total of seven processions will take place, ranging from the opening procession of the mayor to the festive arrival of the ruler and his court, as well as the evening fire processions.
