The story

iProsop Festival in Selemet

The iProsop Festival, initiated in 2015 in Selemet village, Cimislia district, is dedicated to hand-woven towels known as prosoape. Its sixth edition took place on June 7, 2026, combining gastronomic exhibitions, handicraft fairs, sports competitions and folk ensemble performances representing southern Moldova's Gagauz, Ukrainian and Bulgarian communities, working to preserve a weaving craft that has grown increasingly rare.

In Selemet, a village in Moldova's Cimislia district, a single household object has become the anchor for an entire annual festival.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What makes iProsop distinctive is its narrow, almost single-object focus: the prosop, a hand-woven towel that once held ceremonial and decorative roles in Moldovan households but has become an increasingly rare craft as fewer weavers continue the practice

02

The mystery stays covered

Rather than a general folk fair, the festival is organized specifically around preserving this one textile tradition, giving visibility to weavers whose skills might otherwise go unrecognized

03

The city starts moving

Selemet's location in Cimislia district, in southern Moldova, also shapes the event's cultural mix, with performances drawn from the region's Gagauz, Ukrainian and Bulgarian ethnic communities alongside Moldovan folk ensembles

04

The water draws everyone in

Gastronomic exhibitions, handicraft fairs and sports competitions round out the day, but the towel remains the festival's organizing symbol, now in its sixth staging since it began in 2015
