What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's location gives it archaeological weight rarely found at a costume-and-market event: Carbuna village sits near a site tied to the Cucuteni-Trypillia culture, one of prehistoric Europe's most significant settlements, and the festival grounds themselves form part of a designated Historic-Cultural Zone

02

The mystery stays covered

Layering a medieval theme onto that setting, complete with a reconstructed Saint Elias castle open for guided tours and tastings, creates a program that moves between different eras of the region's past within a single visit

03

The city starts moving

Evening fire shows and medieval-style performances add spectacle after dark, while clay-craft workshops and handicraft stalls keep the daytime program hands-on

04

The water draws everyone in

Institutional backing from the US Embassy is also notable, signaling the event's standing as a recognized cultural gathering rather than a purely local fair
