Between May 24 and 26 in Curtea Domneasca Plaza from Piatra Neamt will take place the VIII edition of the Folkloric Art Festival “Lada cu zestre”. Through this festival we want to maintain alive the local traditions and the cultural heritage by stimulating the interest for traditions and customs in younger generations.
