Medieval kindergarten
"This Festival proves that a Teutonic Knight never gives up and fights until the last moment. Besides the shows offered to grown-ups, a moment of great success was the medieval kindergarten. We considered that children should also live fairytale moments and have the chance to have fun. We created medieval dresses for the little girls as once used by children and small weapons for the little boys. Children have been assisted throughout the entire event by specialized staff and knights who showed them techniques in handing the medieval weapons," said Mr. Christian Macedonschi, Chairman of the Association for Tourist Development of Brasov County.

The "Fortresses` Tournament" Medieval Festival is part of a more complex project which includes five tournaments: Rasnov July 20th -22nd - Rasnov Fortress, Brasov August 3rd -5th - Brasov Fortress, Bran August 10th -12th August ? Plateau "Heart of Queen Mary", Fagaras August 16th -19th ? Fagaras Fortress, Feldioara August 31st ? Fortified Church.
30-80 knights and ladies animated the medieval square and presented the daily life of the Middle Age, danced, fought and interacted with the audience. One of the attractions was the fire shows at the end of each festival presented by Hypnosis group. Each festival started with a parade of medieval characters on the sound of the bagpipe players from Transylvania.
