Local public authorities are encouraged to complement the artistic agenda with related activities, such as fairs and handicraft exhibitions, concerts by local artists or interactive workshops.
Martisor marks the beginning of spring. In Moldova, the holiday is traditionally associated with the International Music Festival Martisor, held annually at the beginning of March. Launched in 1966, the festival brings together artists and bands of Moldova and from abroad and includes folk, pop and classical music concerts, as well as choreographic performances.
