About

The Village Museum's autumn fair marks St. Dumitru's day, which in Romanian folk tradition opens the winter. Craftspeople from across the country sell traditional goods, and food stalls offer cozonac, plăcinte, cheeses, gingerbread, honey and seasonal jams. Folk singers and dance ensembles perform on stage, and there's a family play for children, parents and grandparents. It's an easy outdoor wander that suits kids who like music and snacks.
