Last night, the festive spirit and fairytale magic was installed in the city of Orhei. People from all corners of the country gathered in the Ivanos Park to be present at one of the most anticipated events of the winter holidays - the opening of the 3rd edition of Christmas Fair.
Present at the event, the Mayor of Orhei, Ilan SHOR, congratulated those present with the winter holidays. The Mayor was showered in applause and hugs by visitors and Orhei dwellers.
The event was marked by a unique program of lights and fireworks, as well as a concert with the participation of the famous artist Antonia, who fired the Orhei public with her hits.
The smell of mulled wine with cinnamon and of the Kurtoskalacs with burned sugar - Kurtosh, the magic lights, created the perfect ambience for the Christmas Fair from Orhei to be more than magical.
The Ivanos Park from Orhei became overcrowded with guests, who came here to see the real beauty of the winter holidays. The decorations and the thousands of garlands transformed the park into a truly brilliant winter story.
Those who came to the Christmas Fair from Orhei did not hesitate to fill their bags with souvenirs from commercial counters, which were adorned with thousands of shining lights and decorations.
While some rushed to buy all kinds of beautiful and original things exposed at the fair at lower prices than on the market, others enjoyed the 4 huge winter slides brought from Spain, Ukraine and Russia, and which are made available to visitors, absolutely free of charge.
Moreover, among the crowd gathered at the fair there were also characters from stories, who entertained the little ones.
A relaxed and cheerful atmosphere was also at Santa Claus's Residence. More than a thousand children visited Santa Claus last night, recited poems, sang and received presents.
Young people, children and even more energetic adults eager for fun on the ice made a queue at the Fair’s skating rink, which this year is free for everyone.
The winter story is just beginning at Orhei.
Every day, until January 7th, the Orhei Christmas Fair will entertain its guests with a diverse cultural program.
Also, on the outdoor scene set up in Ivanos Park will evaluate tens of local and international artists, as well as over 100 theater and circus actors, Black & White dancers, shows and DJ parties.
