Sighisoara Medieval Festival
On the last weekend of each July, Sighisoara hosts the biggest medieval festival Romania has ever seen. The fest takes hold of the citadel and the ancient streets and the entire city wrapped in merriment and inviting aromas.
Each year, the festival gathers different section of activity such as: theatre, fine arts, exhibitions, dance, film, medieval poetry recital, book exhibitions, concerts, conferences, street performances, night concerts, exhibition of medieval costumes and courses of medieval dance. The organizers invite professional theatre teams, college theatre teams and private theatre teams from our country and from abroad.
Each year the old citadel was filled with dauntless knights and with svelte ladies. Along the street, you can find craftsmen selling all kinds of souvenirs, handmade jewellry, bags and clothing. Each year, the town is choke-full. The knights duel on every single street and the beautiful ladies, their good luck charm, accompany them. The medieval music vibrates in the entire city. Cheer reigns above all.
This event has become a regular in the cultural life of this mystical town, Sighisoara. This festival comes to express that this town abounds with rich cultural traditions, and also the fact that participates to the development of Transylvania’s artistic life.
In time, an increasingly valuable segment of visitors was formed, and most certainly this festival had its great role.
The visitors are not only from our country, but from abroad too. All this helped not only the tourism, but created a really special image for this dear town of Sighisoara, that of a cultural medieval town. The organizers of this manifestation want this project to develop from year to year, and bring newer and more interesting things to the visitors.
