Weimar - Onion Market
The three-hundred year old Weimar Onion Market takes place in early October every year. The fields around Weimar still are great onion growers for eastern Germany, and the three day festival in honor of the prosaic vegetable -- in which a local girl is named Onion Queen -- draws some 350,000 visitors a year. Weimar was selected as Europe's city of culture for the year 1999.
