Some 300 dancers and their ensembles took part in the festival's 12th edition on the banks of the Mures river.
Hundreds of dancers from nine countries attended the International Folklore Festival in Romania on Sunday.
Mexican guitars, Greek flutes, Czech violins and Romanian shouts could be heard at the opening of the 12th edition of the country’s international folklore festival.
It was held on the streets of the Aiud municipality in Central Romania's Alba county.
Nine countries sent ensembles to represent them at the festival on the banks of the Mures river.
Most of the 300 dancers sent to show their talent and passion for folklore at the festival are in Romania for the first time.
Residents of Aiud look forward to this festival every year — especially because the ensembles differ each time.
The festival ended Sunday evening with a laureate’s gala after a weekend full of music and dances from performers gathered from around the world.
