Several events marking the International Romani Day are being organized in Bucharest these days. The International Romani Day is held every year on April to celebrate Romani culture and raise awareness of the issues facing Roma people.

Thus, from April 6 to April 9, Bucharest’s Universitatii Square hosts a fair of traditional Roma crafts, with working demonstrations of craftsmen. Moreover, in a Kulture Tent installed in the square, the visitors will have the chance to admire a painting and sculpture exhibition, a theater play, and music.

The program also includes an extraordinary concert by Romani Filarmoni-Kher, conducted by Alexandru Ilie, which will take place at the Auditorium Hall of the National Arts Museum. The concert will start at 18:30.

Moreover, a bilingual culinary brochure will be launched at Petőfi Sándor Cultural Center on April 9, 16:00. The evening will end with a collection of traditional Roma clothes, on rhythms of jazz.
