The Medieval Fair of Óbidos extends across the streets, courtyards and alleys of the historic town. The rows of market stalls, where practical and decorative items made in the spirit of the Middle Ages are sold, create the real feeling of a fair. Along with the public, over a hundred actors, numerous musicians, dancers, beggars, victims of the plague and other performers liven up the market spirit. Outdoor reenactments performed amidst the public bring to the stage noblemen and peasants, clergymen, merchants, artisans and jesters. The displays by master craftsmen and apprentices, provides an insight into traditional medieval handicrafts. Also local traditional gastronomy will served in a true medieval atmosphere.
