Sighişoara Medieval Festival

The first edition of the Sighişoara Medieval Festival took place back in 1992 and it has quickly become the most famous festival in Romania. Every summer, it takes place during the last weekend of July in Sighişoara, one of the most beautiful medieval cities in Romania.

The festival attracts somewhere around 30.000 visitors every year and the organizers make sure to come up with many different activities for every participant, from kids to elder people. Every year, Sighişoara Medieval Festival teleports the visitors back in time to see how local people lived back in the Middle Ages. For three days in late July, Sighişoara transforms into a medieval town with costumes, parades, historic reenactments, and live concerts.

Sighişoara Medieval Festival does an excellent job of reviving an era which is long gone. It’s the ideal place to be if you want to experience something different, full of history and traditions.
