We all know about Untold, Electric Castle, and TIFF film festival. But there is more to Cluj-Napoca and Transylvania than just three events. In fact, almost every day of summer has something going on, usually at least two or three to choose from.
Cluj theatre festival – a festival of theatrical events in Cluj. These included representations of plays never before seen in Cluj-Napoca.
Guitar play-along dates – these past few days, in the centre of town, guitar players of all ages were playing along to great
Oradea:
4-6 July, Medieval festival – people came from all around Europe to dress up and reenact medieval culture.
If you missed those, you are not alone. But there is more to come.
FITT – Festival International de Teatru in Transilvania. (25-28 September)
The guitar festival will be in Sibiu in September.
But there will also be a guitar festival here in Cluj at the end of August. (27-31 August). The Transilvania International Guitar Festival will be in Cluj-Napoca Rather than a play-along event, however, the festival in August seems to be more about competing. There are prizes for different age groups. Yes, the July one was better, when you could just stop playing for a couple chords if your hands got tired, and be lost in the crowd of other talented players.
As for Medieval festivals, well, you can always try Hungarian days in Cluj on the 19-20 of August. But yeah, we also want to see the International medieval events in Oradea.
