The Historical Market will be held from August 23 to 25, 2024, as part of the Weißenfels City Festival. During this weekend, the area around the baths will transform into a lively medieval spectacle filled with music, knightly battles, and artistic performances.

On Friday, August 23, admission is free. From 4 PM to midnight, visitors can immerse themselves in the fascinating world of the Middle Ages. From 7 PM, all children are warmly invited to make lanterns. At 8:45 PM, the grand lantern parade begins, leading from the baths via the train station, Merseburger Straße, Dammstraße, and Pfennigbrücke back to the baths. From 9 PM, the spectacular TANZWUT rock show will provide thrilling sounds and an unforgettable atmosphere.

On Saturday, August 24, the market opens from 10 AM to midnight. The last day of the Historical Market, Sunday, August 25, invites visitors to linger and marvel from 11 AM to 6 PM. The Kings' Knights of Mandshur Tegri will daily joust for the favor of a maiden and compete in impressive battles. Every evening, there will also be a thrilling equestrian fire show. The market reeve mingles with the crowd, playing drums and bagpipes, creating a lively ambiance. Special highlights include medieval music and the Theatrum Diaboli by TANZWUT. A talented juggler will perform breathtaking tricks, juggling everything he can get his hands on. At the water guillotine, every cutpurse and petty thief receives their wet punishment.

Fun and entertainment are guaranteed for both young and old. A children's carousel, crossbow and archery shooting, as well as children's crafts, offer diverse activities for the little ones. Culinary delights are well covered too. Visitors can enjoy beer, mead, and wine taverns, roasting houses, an almond distillery, a potato feast, a flower cabbage stand, langos, and a hand bread bakery. Around 50 market vendors and camps representing different eras invite you to marvel, participate, and shop.

On Saturday and Sunday, access to the Historical Market is only possible with a city festival ticket. It can be purchased in advance for €8.18 plus fees online at reservix.de as well as at all known advance sales points, including the Weißenfels Tourist Information. At the box office, the ticket costs €12.
