Romanians commemorate their historic
heritage, changing seasons, religious holidays, and
life-cycle events such as birth, marriage, and death
with centuries-old festivals throughout the year.Young celebrants wear the same costumes and dance the same steps to tunes played on instruments that their forefathers have used since time immemorial, preserving some of Europe's most venerable folkways.
Festivals provide fantastic chances for visitors to learn about the diverse people who make up this country, which is unique in East-Central Europe because of its Latin roots extending back to the Roman Empire.
