This weekend's Open Streets in Bucharest: Postmen's March, Eco-campaign, Outdoor Workshops and Artistic Performances

This weekend, locals and tourists are invited to the last pedestrian weekend of the summer at the Open Streets event before its return in September.

The pedestrian zones are active August 13-14 from 09:00 to 22:00, on Calea Victoriei, between Victoriei Square and Splaiul Independenței, and Kiseleff Boulevard, between Ion Mincu Street and Monetăriei Street.

The program of weekend activities on Calea Victoriei opens on Saturday, August 13, at 11:00 am, with the first-ever Postman March, between Elisabeta Boulevard and Splaiul Unirii.

Known for its cultural music projects to support talented children from disadvantaged backgrounds, the Viitorul Nostru (Our Future) Association is present this weekend with percussion and wind instrument workshops in front of the National Museum of Romanian History.

Another interesting thing happening in front of the History Museum is the Masca (Masque) Theatre’s living statues performances.

While Byzantine icon painter Liviu Balâc, awarded by the Ministry of Culture with the honorary title of Living Human Treasure, awaits young and old this weekend in front of the Romartizana shop on Calea Victoriei, to participate in a stained glass painting workshop.

In the area of the Kretzulescu Church, the public can enjoy folkloric performances prepared by the Doinița Dance Studio Association.

A novelty of the weekend is the One Minute Older campaign to raise awareness on climate change through art with the activation The bag of bags has no place in your life anymore. Donate it!. Initiated by Fundatia 9 (Foundation 9), the campaign aims to collect one million plastic bags and turn them into a work of art. This weekend, pedestrians are invited to contribute to the future art installation by dropping off any plastic bags they don’t need at the campaign's collection point in the Odeon Theatre Square.

Conceived as a participatory installation, the question Why do you love Bucharest? on the window of the Muzica store invites passersby this weekend to use words or drawings to express themselves.

The Bucharest School of Art returns this time with a painting exhibition that will be open on both days, at the Eliad House on Mircea Voda Boulevard, between 12:00 and 18:00.

From the series of projects supported by ARCUB within the framework of the Bucharest RE:imagined Idea Grants, the Bookarest Tram offers its fourth vintage tram ride through the city on Saturday.
