Rab Fair, Rab (July 25 – 27)
The return todistantmediaeval past is possibleby takingpart inamemorableevent RabFair. History, culture, tradi-
tion, old skills andknowledge are intertwined in the stagingof lifeof the famous FelixArba in the14th century and
the festival which was then conceived. Rab Fair begins with a spectacular opening parade of Rab Crossbowmen,
city gents and folk, and the second day of artisans spread out along the stone streets of the town to show the an-
cient crafts andworkshops. All culminates the last day with the Knights’tournament in honour of St. Christopher’s
Day. In thismediaeval contest of Rab Knights, Rab Crossbowmenmeasure their firmhand and a sharp eye by han-
dling a genuine crossbow.
