What an amazing day we had yesterday in the kingdom of Elfia ! It was sunny, it was warm, it was loud, it was busy, it ws friendship, it was love, it was a party! What more could we have wished for as an amazing opener of the outdoor festival season? Nothing really.

They kicked off the morning with a nice little bit of Symphonic Metal by Cathubodua to wake us all up properly. Followed by the party tunes of Mumfords Calling , Sunfire and Greenrose Faire to match the relaxing atmosphere of the festival. To make the party complete, Ye Banished Privateers and The Spleen Orchestra – Tim Burton Show killed it on the main stage, while Plunder (with some stage crashing from half the Pyrolysis crew) threw a party on the Medieval stage!

There were balfolk sessions to teach people how to dance, there was a stage specifically designed for balfolk tunes and in another area of the fields, Sassenachs introduced the many visitors to bagpipes and drums.

The market was huge, the models and cosplays amazing! Most importantly it was fun to be in the Kingdom of Elfia… And the best thing? We are going to do it all over again today!

So see you at Kasteel de Haar !
