December, the month of gifts and many smiles, is also coming with a long list of events, most dedicated to the celebration of Christmas.
The Christmas fairs are definitely the events to go to in December in Bucharest, but there are also season concerts taking place this month, as well as musicals and even a symphonic rock concert. Check the list below and add your favorites to the calendar:
- Check the Christmas fairs in the city
The main thing to do in December is get ready for and celebrate Christmas, and that also means buying gifts for family and friends. The Christmas fairs are usually the main places to go to find the best gifts, especially as the bigger ones also come with entertainment options for their visitors.
The biggest fair in the capital is, of course, the Bucharest Christmas Market in Constitutiei Square. The market, which is open between November 28 and December 26, features more than 130 stalls with traditional food products, mulled wine, hand-crafted items, season decorations, traditional clothing items, toys and other items, as well as an ice rink and Santa’s special house. Concerts and special programs will also be available for Romania’s National Day, on December 1, and for Christmas. More details about the event are available here.
The Romanian Peasant Museum also hosts a traditional Christmas fair between December 13 and December 15, but there are other similar events to try in the city this month, such as the Christmas Story Fair at Opera Comica pentru Copii, a fair of handmade products at Impact Hub Universitate on December 15, and the Christmas Concept fair at Palatul Telefoanelor on December 7-8 and December 14-15. Plus, Casa Universitarilor will host VegFair between December 19 and December 21, a special Christmas fair for those who have adopted a vegetarian diet.
