Edition 2025 — Limesfest Xanten
The Limesfest 2025 was also an established event at the APX – featuring several hundred reenactors, military parades, and family activities. It served as a prelude to the major UNESCO World Heritage anniversary in 2026.
The 2025 edition followed the usual format with reenactment camps, a market, and family activities. With the fifth anniversary of the UNESCO World Heritage site in 2026, the event will be significantly expanded and promoted more internationally.
Programme
Two-day Roman festival with reenactment camps, military parades, craft demonstrations, and family program at the LVR Archaeological Park Xanten.
