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.
