Join us for a photography outing to the annual Limesfest in Xanten, one of the largest Roman history festivals in Germany. More than 400 reenactors, craftsmen, traders, horsemen, and Roman legionaries will be spread throughout the archaeological park, creating countless opportunities for documentary, portrait, event, and street-style photography.
### Official Meetup Time

We will meet at 3:00 PM and photograph together until approximately 6:00 PM.
