What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

This campaign stretches well beyond a single city fair, spanning nearly 40 localities across Moldova, including the Gagauzia autonomous region, so the programming reaches communities far from the capital rather than concentrating entirely in Chisinau

02

The mystery stays covered

Its title, Come Home for Christmas, is reflected directly in programming: diaspora performances staged in Berlin and Frankfurt by the Ion Creanga theatre extend the campaign to Moldovans living abroad, framing the season as a moment of connection between the country and its diaspora

03

The city starts moving

In the capital, National Assembly Square hosts the traditional Christmas fair, set against the festively lit Metropolitan Cathedral and Boulevard Stefan cel Mare, giving the season a civic and religious backdrop alongside over 40 performances staged nationwide
