Between February 23 and March 8, 2026, we look forward to welcoming you to the Martisor Fair at the "Dimitrie Gusti" National Village Museum.

A symbol of the purest feelings and a keeper of great hopes for the year that has just begun, the martisor never ceases to fascinate.

In countless guises, from the simple string, most often white and red, accompanied or not by an amulet, to the most elaborate forms, worn on the chest or wrist and then often hung on a flowering tree, given to girls, but also to boys, the martisor is one of the most popular Romanian customs. The Martisor tradition is quite old. The inclusion in the UNESCO Intangible Heritage in 2017 through a joint initiative of Romania, the Republic of Moldova, Bulgaria and Macedonia is testimony to the value of this tradition derived from the agrarian beliefs of the renewal of time.

So old and yet never outdated, the mărțișor awaits you to discover its secrets at our fair in Șos. Kiseleff no. 28-30, from Monday to Sunday, between 9:00-17:00, where, as every year, folk craftsmen and visual artists will exhibit the most beautiful mărțișors, which you can buy to give to your loved ones.

Access is based on the museum entrance ticket.

We look forward to seeing you!
