In 2023, the traditional autumn Titu Fair in Romania triumphantly returned, drawing large crowds after being on hold because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Located near the central city of Titu, northwest of Bucharest, the nearly 200-year-old fair serves as a critical community gathering point. Set up in the small village of Hagioaica, the fair features various attractions, including carousels, toys, and live music, offering a brief respite from daily challenges for some of Romania's poorest citizens.
While the event maintains its original goal of bringing the community together, it also serves as an economic opportunity. Locals set up stalls to sell toys, vegetables, and other household items in preparation for winter. Although prices at the fair are generally lower than in stores, attendees noted increased costs due to the pandemic and ongoing war in Ukraine, one of Romania's neighbors.
Despite Romania's progress as a European Union member state, many among its 19 million population still face economic hardships. The Titu Fair, therefore, not only preserves a tradition but also provides a temporary escape and financial relief for its attendees.
