With a ghost train, Ferris wheel, carousel and many family-friendly rides, the All Saints' Fair in Soest begins today (2 p.m.). According to the organizers, the largest old town fair in Europe is taking place for the 685th time and lasts five days. Around one million visitors have attended the traditional fair in recent years.

The city has announced that there will once again be special highlights for thrill-seekers and those who enjoy fast-paced uphill and downhill rides. Mayor Eckhard Ruthemeyer (CDU) and the President of the German Showmen's Association, Albert Ritter, open the huge funfair.
