Wave-Gotik-Treffen is the largest annual festival of music and gothic art during more than 4 days, which is held since 1992 on along with the so-called “alternative” and “black” movements in Leipzig. Wave-Gotik-Treffen was something more than just a music festival: its guests can enjoy the romantic atmosphere of ancient times at the medieval market. The festival will include poetry readings, film performances. People in historical costumes will gather for a Victorian picnic in the park.
