Esslingen Medieval Christmas Market

The Esslingen Christmas Market is a bit more famous than the Tübingen one because it's much larger and there is a whole section that turns medieval. All of the workers are dressed as various Medieval characters such as monks, priors, friars, merchants, peddlers, craftsmen, maids etc. They sold things like wood carvings, handmade soaps, animal fur. I ate some delish Knight's Soup of veggies and various spices. 

Here are some medieval entertainers performing with fire and music.


There was a larger carnival section with medieval games. Watchout Katniss!





Here are some pictures of the traditional Christmas market section.
