I get some distinct 'hippy' vibes from this event, and i mean that as a compliment of course, the atmosphere of fun, creativity and togetherness looks very cool. It seems it is my lucky day today, not only i found your other channel but this one too, and i have many videos yet to see on both, thanks again :)

That's definitely true! But I think it's mostly in the aesthetics than in any hippy philosophy :D Oh, happy to hear that! Haha, I felt like I need to separate all the geeky stuff I do from the travel stuff - but I'm glad that you enjoy both!

A disgrace that they have added an enterance fee - just to enter the market. Especially for the locals who live in Visby, making the barrier for them to enjoy it very high.

If you ever find yourself in the Netherlands early August there's Castlefest on the grounds of Kasteel Keukenhof, which was built by a VOC member in 1641. It has a similar vibe I think :D No horses sadly, but we burn a wicker man on the saturday. This year it was a raven and we had Kai Uwe Faust from Heilung do the ceremony.
