On September 20, we celebrated the cultural diversity of Moldova\u2019s ethnic communities in the south of the country. Etno Fest Taraclia 2025 was a true celebration of traditions, and we were delighted to share it with wonderful people \u2014 Bulgarians, Gagauz, Moldovans, Ukrainians, and Romanians. We admired traditional costumes, dances, and songs, enjoyed local dishes, and had a great time together.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We brought the spirit of Europe to the EU Information Centre<\/strong> stand, where visitors discovered:
\u2013 information about the European Union and its opportunities,
\u2013 interactive activities and games for youth and families,
\u2013 open discussions about what European integration means for local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were glad to see so many curious and open-minded people at an event that united local traditions with European values.
Thank you to everyone who visited us, shared ideas, and smiled with us. Europe feels closer when we are together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etno Fest<\/strong> is an annual cultural event held in Taraclia since 2001. Its main goal is to promote the traditions, customs, and culture of Moldova\u2019s ethnic communities, as well as intercultural dialogue and interethnic harmony.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
