This colourful, historical spectacle involving soldiers and vivandières is a traditional event with a great battle on the forts, harking back to the siege of Nysa by Napoleon’s army in 1807.
Every year at the end of July Nysa turns into a battlefield – for the battle of Nysa Fortress, but also the Sea Battle on the waters of Lake Nysa, referring to the battle of San Domingo Legions in Błękitna Zatoka in Głębinów. Historical displays of former military fashion and camp life, dances with soldiers and re-enactment workshops are held here. They are accompanied by an impressive march of troops through the city streets and a ceremonial drill, as well as the Night Fire Manoeuvres.
