Buzău Fest

Buzău Fest is a multi-day county festival inaugurated in 2023 in the city of Buzău. It features children’s programs (animated shows), traditional folk parades, live music concerts (Romanian folk and pop), craft fairs, torchlight military and historical reenactments, and an opening fireworks display. The festival occurs around early June and is organized by the county council as a cultural celebration and holiday. It draws local families and visitors for theatrical performances, children's entertainment (like the popular Gașca Zurli show), and final-day concerts by national and local artists, highlighting Buzău’s regional identity 1.

Organized by Buzău County, this festival showcases the region’s living traditions and recent history. Activities include a torch parade re-enacting ancient Roman/Dacian soldiers, reflecting local historical interest. Many participants wear national costumes, and the County Council promotes it as part of communal identity. The addition of a partnered celebration with Chisinau (Republic of Moldova) shows cross-cultural ties but Buzău Fest itself centers on Buzău’s community spirit 1.
