Transylvanian Crafts Celebrations

For the second time, the Transylvanian Crafts Festival will be held in Târgu Mures Castle, following the tradition of the Festival of Crafts, founded by the Association of Folk Art Associations nearly 4 decades ago and now internationally known and recognised.

The festival is organised by the Association of Folk Art Associations (NESZ), the House of Transylvanian Traditions Foundation (EHHA) and the Association of Transylvanian Crafts Associations (EKESZ), a group of Transylvanian craft communities.

The 3 organisations are committed to promoting the values of traditional folk culture in Transylvania, preserving it and passing it on to future generations. The two-day Festival programme is designed to offer thematic programmes where people of all ages can find something meaningful to do.

The focus of the Festival will be on Craftsmen and Workshops, a series of workshops that will introduce the public to the small skills and tools of different crafts. Children will be entertained by play houses and craft activities, while adults will be entertained by traditional concerts and folk dance performances on the main stage. The night festival atmosphere will be enhanced by a dance house.
