Dob-Ban International Rhythm Festival

In 2001, when this event was organized for the first time, it seemed to be a simple gastronomic contest in which only potato stew boiled in most of the competing teams’ pots. Over the years, however, this event has evolved into a true scene for all sorts of potato delicacies, but also an opportunity for community interaction. The participants take their role very seriously, turning every year a banal potato dish into a sophisticated and varied menu with different flavors, bringing the jury and the tasting audience to work. The festival is organized annually in the Central Park in Miercurea Ciuc and gathers potato lovers from all over the country and abroad. In addition to potato delights, the festival has a dedicated program for young people, creative and craft workshops, popular dances and other beloved community activities. The festival is held every August.

The Stuffed Cabbage Festival is Szeklerland’s and Romania's first gastronomic festival. Each year, it takes place on the 3rd weekend of September. A lot of teams, whose biggest desire is to show to the world their cooking skills, are gathering together for this festival in each year. Visitors can find all kinds of stuffed cabbages: tiny, little, big and huge. The program includes performances by folk dance ensembles, traditional costume shows and concerts. The festival is held every September.
