In Rhodes, Greece there is a festival known as the "Medieval Rose Festival of Rhodes". You are given the opportunity to take part in the witches and fairy dance or watch the fire eater with his amazing tricks, there are jugglers and other street performers or you can just participate in eating the gorgeous foods on offer. This festival is now a tradition of the town and is put on by the Medieval Rose which is an organization that operates in a non profit way.

Many volunteers help make the Medieval Rose Festival of Rhodes the most authentic medieval festival ever and it all begins with the sounds of the trumpet followed by a parade of the Knights, cavalry and the infantry who walk through the town that has all been decked out to look just how it would have back in the medieval times, there are even stalls that will sell you traditional foods, crafts or you can take in some exhibitions or puppet theatres or you can participate in a game of chess or archery whilst listening to music and watching the dancing.

All of this is right over the entire city so there is plenty to explore in an absolutely beautiful setting and visitors are providing banquets that would be fit for a King or Queen.
