Escalade Festival - Geneva, Switzerland
Geneva's Escalade includes demonstrations, tours, music and re-enactments all over the city.
The event marks the victory over the Duke of Savoy, who tried to capture the city in 1602.
A bonfire is erected on the Cour Saint-Pierre outside the cathedral, and the famous soup of Mere Royaume
(famous for stalling invaders by being dropped over them) along mulled wine, is available.
