Celtic Festival at Heuneburg Draws Over 1,500 Visitors
The annual Celtic festival at the Heuneburg in Germany's Sigmaringen district attracted over 1,500 guests this year, despite challenging weather conditions. The event, which celebrates the rich history and culture of the ancient Celts who once inhabited the region, was held on the Heuneburg, one of the most significant archaeological sites in Central Europe.
Organisers expressed their gratitude for the attendance, praising the community's interest in Celtic history and heritage. The festival offered a variety of activities for visitors of all ages, including educational workshops, live performances, and interactive exhibits.
Children had the chance to participate in activities such as bending fibulae and excavating a skeleton in an archaeological sandpit. Adults could try their hand at archery or watch gladiators perform in the middle of the former Celtic settlement on a meadow.
Several Living-History groups participated in the festival, bringing history to life for visitors. An archaeotechnician demonstrated how the Celts could win iron at a Rennoven 2,500 years ago, while a Celtic fashion show showcased traditional clothing and accessories.
The Celtic festival is an important event that aims to educate visitors about Celtic life, traditions, and their influence on the region. It features historical reenactments, crafts, music, and food that transport visitors back to the Iron Age.
