The story behind it
Brăila, with its long river port history, uses this festival to affirm local pride. The riverfront trade fairs (antiques, crafts) link to historical markets; the military music parade reflects Brăila’s historical garrison and naval presence. It also marks Saint Mary’s Day and the city anniversary (mid-August). The events bring together civil institutions and international partners (e.g., Bulgarian cavalry, Moldovan guests).
