The large-scale fantastic characters from the famous Harry Potter series from Spain, the giant luminous Electro Frogs from France, the flag-waving group Flag Wavers, and the band Puglia Street Band from Italy will meet the public of Bucharest to animate Calea Victoriei, along the pedestrian route between Revolutiei Square and the National Military Circle.
Performances will take place between 10 AM and 9 PM. Each group will perform five shows of approximately 30 minutes each, both on Saturday, June 29, and Sunday, June 30.
The giant inflatable Harry Potter characters from Spain will greet passers-by on Calea Victoriei, Saturday at 10:10 AM and 11:10 AM, and Sunday at 6:10 PM, 7:10 PM, and 8:10 PM.
Electro Frogs is a unique show that combines the adventurous spirit of Dr. Frankenstein, the satirical humor of Gargantua, and the charm of Kermit the Frog. The three characters dedicate themselves to fun and merriment in the middle of the capital, inviting everyone to take part in a unique roaming experience. They will be on Calea Victoriei Saturday at 10:30 AM and 11:30 AM, and on Sunday from 6:30 PM, 7:30 PM, and 8:30 PM.

Their choreography is accompanied by an orchestra composed of drums and trumpets playing medieval music, adding a vibrant and competitive element to the performance.
