This weekend is the 352nd Onion Market in Weimar.
The weekend will be full of onion cakes, onion decorations, and onion Ferris wheels.
Well, maybe not the last one, but still, you get the idea. I could feel the market’s vibes as I walked the streets home today—stages were being set up, booths built, and a general air of excitement filled the air. Even I got excited, and looked for Onion Cake—which is a staple of the market.
Which isn’t open yet, of course—so I wasn’t able to indulge.
This weekend there’s supposed to be a really good rock band from Gera on Saturday night. I plan on going, along with other Onion Market festivities.
It must be in the air! We just got back from the Fall Fest, a.k.a. Mullet Fest, where we had an American version of a moveable feast. We also saw people with Mullets, oh yes we did. And one of my students gave us free food. 😉
