Freimarktsumzug Bremen

Here is a recording from our visit at the parade for the Bremen Freimarkt. There were more than 130 participating groups, bands and parade floats and approximately 200.000 spectators watching this huge parade in the streets of Bremen.

My video is of pretty poor quality after the Youtube converter did its work. If you wanna look at it in good quality, you should go here and chose "best quality" for the player.

Freimarkt Bremen 2008

Ischa Freimaak...that`s how the people in Bremen usually welcome their "5th season" the Bremer "Freimarkt"

And as usually, we took an evening off to enjoy this huge fun fair.
Not much to tell about it. A lot of eating, laughing, looking around and trying some roundabouts.
This year Jale refused to ride a "kids roundabout". She is old enough now to try something more "dangerous", some caroussels for adults! We decided that a "chairoplane" (very fast and pretty high!!) and the big wheel should do for this year. Next year we will have a try at some even more dangerous things ;-)

Bremer Freimarkt

The Bremen Freimarkt is the third largest fun-fair in Germany after the "Oktoberfest" in Munich and the "Cannstatter Wasn" in Stuttgart. Lots of caroussels, roundabouts, food and drinks.We always join the Freimarkt. We usually do not spend too much money on it but enjoy the special atmosphere.
