Historica – festival of living history

October 11 to 12, 2025 – Messe Kassel

An Association pour l’Histoire Vivante (France) and SagaNova (Germany) event.

The Reenactors fair moves from Minden to Kassel in 2025! After many successful years at the historic site, the trade fair is now looking forward to a fresh wind in the modern Messe Kassel and becomes Historica, the Festival of Living History.

Many traders from all over Europe travel to Kassel an der Fulda with an impressive variety of historical goods. Weapons and armors, costumes, fabrics, leather goods, ceramics, jewelry, music instruments, wooden tableware, toys and accessories from all eras up to 1918 invite you to browse and buy on both days. The colourful market scene is complemented by culinary delights on the gourmet street.

In addition to this wonderful range of goods, Historica in Kassel offers a varied supporting programme: historical music, juggling, stilt walking, games, craftsmanship, fighting and much more.

Look forward to an unforgettable experience for the whole family!!!
