Each year in the Netherlands there is a huge historical festival in September named LPLG. All re-enactment groups from a broad range of time periods attend under the lplg-umbrella.
All participants try to be as historical correct as possible in clothing and attributes. It is a great festival to go to.

Romans, Vikings, Celts, High and Late Medieval, Napoleontics, WWII, Cold war, etc.
In time they will release more info on their website for 2012.

Looks impressive O-O I don't have any accurate clothing... I can dress 'medieval' but that's improvised :P
Do you participate, or do you just watch? And pictures? ? If you do I'm curious for your costume!

pity for the visitors, the best part of the festival is when they are gone,heheh.
Then we drink beer together. It's insane. bourgondian medieval girls dancing with WWII germans, vikings playing cards with napoleontics. It's kinda like a hetalia episode really, hahaha.

This is me talking with another friend of mine: a real Doitsu, his name is Werner. Really a nice guy. Only have an url, because the pic won't load.


I'm with the Dutch 15th Century group named GravenvanHolland.

Visitors usually don't dress up for the festival. They just watch the shows. There are quite some battles and demonstrations every year.
