Three days of complete immersion in history, 10 sites dedicated to different eras − all this is the Crimean military and historical festival, which will be held in September at Fedyukhiny Heights in Sevastopol. Traditionally, reenactors from different regions of Russia will come to the festival.
The Crimean military and historical festival will be held in Sevastopol for the seventh time. This year it will take place on September 4-6 and will be dedicated to the opening of the Fedyukhiny Heights Live History Park. The event will reflect all the main historical eras of the Crimean peninsula. In total, there are 10 sites that will cover 8 periods of the Crimean history, the organizers wrote on Facebook.
Thus, at the festival it will be possible to visit the Ancient Rome site where trainings of legionnaires, gladiator fights, craft workshops and board games will be shown.

Equestrian stunt shows and warrior competitions will also be shown there.
The Medieval Rus site will acquaint the guests with the culture, traditions, crafts and warrior skills of that period, and offer a playground. Loco Cimbali will help you immerse in the world of the Genoese. This location is a 15th century settlement − a city of Italian artisans.
