Anniversary weekend

The traditional Old Town Festival takes place on Saturday, complemented by exciting time islands and other activities. On Sunday, the focus is on historical and religious events – including a church service, procession and other special activities.

The weekend was deliberately chosen because September 13 is the anniversary of the death of Bishop Radolf, the founder of the city.
