Come spend an afternoon and evening steeped in Romanian music\, story\, craft\, and cuisine — everyone is welcome\, and all activities are free (except the seated dinner). \nThis year’s festival\, “Rooted in Song: The Village Remembers\,” turns to the oral and musical traditions that have carried Romanian village life forward across generations — and across the ocean\, including into diaspora communities like our own here in Alabama. Stories\, songs\, and ballads are the mortar of that village life\, passed hand to hand\, voice to voice\, heart to heart\, holding together everything that might otherwise be lost to time. From a solo violin opening to a candlelit closing\, from festive folk dance to quiet poetry\, the program traces how song has always been the village’s way of remembering itself. \nThrough an afternoon and evening of live performance\, hands-on workshops\, exhibits\, a seated Romanian dinner\, and a short award-winning film\, DOR hopes not only to celebrate Romania’s living heritage but to actively build cross-cultural understanding and connection. \nTo RSVP for the seated dinner ($25/adult\, children under 12 free)\, please click on this link https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/dor-3rd-annual-romanian-festival OR email Dr. Alina Voicu at avoicu1970@gmail.com and pay by check made payable to Music4Romania\, mailed to The Episcopal Church of St. Francis of Assisi\, 3545 Cahaba Valley Road\, Indian Springs\, AL 35124.

Poet Alina Ștefănescu closes the session with an original meditation on village memory. \n4:30 – 5:15 PM – Featured Performance: Bucovina Folk Ensemble \nThe Atlanta-based Bucovina Folk Ensemble performs traditional Romanian dances and folk songs in full costume\, with audience participation including a Hora — everyone on their feet. \n5:15 – 6:30 PM – Workshops & Exhibits \nAll activities running simultaneously: \n#1.

Wild Forever Screening \nSettle in for “Wild Forever\,” Episode 3 of Charlie Ottley’s Wild Carpathia documentary series\, looping throughout the workshop hour for anyone who’d like a quieter seat — a journey through the painted monasteries\, wooden churches\, and living traditions of Maramureș and Bucovina. \n6:30 PM – Poftă Bună (Bon Appétit): A Seated Romanian Dinner \nJoin us for a seated dinner of traditional Romanian dishes\, shared around the table.
