The "Romanian traditions" exhibition can be seen at the Stone Hall until July 2. It features works by artists Vitalie Butescu, Vali Irina Ciobanu, Maria Jarda, and Dmitri Murahovski. The paintings in the exhibition are a visual journey into Romanian tradition, reflecting Romanian identity through the variety of folk costumes, through the colourful landscapes of Bulgaria's northern neighbour.

The Doruletul Folk Ensemble will complement the experience offering traditional Romanian folk dances on the Open Stage on July 1.
