Great Cinema Picnic ShortsUP
Already at its sixth edition, this event combines the picnic experience with film-watching in beautiful locations. This year, the venue is the domain of Mogoșoaia, some 20 km north of Bucharest.
For three evenings, between July 26 and July 28, the public can watch a collection of short films sitting comfortably on a blanket, in a hammock or on the shore of the lake, alongside friends, family, children, and pets. Apart from simply relaxing in nature, other experiences available on the domain include exploring the nearby forest and the domain, slackline, workshops for families, a reading corner, and more.
