The last weekend of April brings the second edition of the Soul of Romania festival to the Royal Domain in Săvârșin. All that is good and the things that make us beautiful are concentrated in two days of experiences that encourage Romanian artisans to connect to the community and help us discover the small local producers, the authentic traditions and customs of the Romanian village.
The event initiated by Profi brings together small local producers, skilled craftsmen, an outdoor cinema with Romanian films, popular dances and concerts performed by, among others, Narcisa Suciu, Vasile Șeicaru, Ducu Bertzi and Florin Chilian. Participants in the second edition of the festival Soul of Romania will have a meeting of the soul with Father Constantin Necula on Saturday, April 27.
“We are glad that the Soul of Romania festival is already becoming a tradition started by Profi to connect us with everything that makes us good and beautiful, in a place with a special historical charge. We seek to pass on to current and future generations those tastes and customs that define us as Romanians and that are good for us. In the last weekend of April, we bring together organizations and people who care for the community in one place and learn from each other how to put soul into Romania“, conveys Călin Costinaș, Deputy General Director of Profi.
