The Krakelingen Festival is responsible for some bizarre ceremonies that have become customary amongst the locals.
Do you know: The Krakelingen festival originated as a way to commemorate the throwing of food over city walls to confuse the enemy in medieval times.
A rather interesting ceremony in the Krakelingen festival is a wine-drinking custom by the locals. The wine, however, contains a live grondeling fish, 2.5 cm in length, swimming about inside. In recent years, the number of participants for this ceremony has been restricted to 24 people, due to protests from animal right activists.
