Why
Narva? Why
Narva? The survived castle and bastions of the fortress present nice stage for living history and historical re-enactment. A borderline location of Narva makes it relatively easy to travel to, which is another positive factor for bringing re-enactors from the West and from the East together. The Festival in Narva is destined to gather together those who are fond of history of late 17th – early 18th century, history of the Great Northern War. The festival is held annually since 2004 and is becoming more and more interesting to both participanst and to spectators. In 2004 about 20 enthusiasts from Russia, Estonia and even Great Britain took part in the first festival. The 2005 event was marked with participation of historical societies from Sweden with overal number of participants being around 50. For the 2006 we expect even more partcipants including new groups from Russia, Sweden, Norway and Finland. For more information about Narva see following sites: www.narvamuuseum.ee , www.hot.ee/preobraz2/ as well as our reports.
