Harvest Festival at ASTRA Museum

On Sunday, 24 September 2023, from 10 am to 4 pm, the Harvest Festival will take place at the Country Fair in the Open Air Museum in Dumbrava Sibiului. There will be 25 producers from Sibiu county and neighbouring counties. The products and preserves on display are jams and syrups, fruit and vegetables, apple pressed juice, grape pressed juice, wine, dairy products, cakes and pies, as well as beekeeping products, sauces and many other delicacies.

At the Harvest Festival, visitors will have the opportunity to twist wicker twigs to make woven baskets, often used to store or transport fruit or vegetables. This interactive workshop will be organised under the supervision of a craftsman from Harghita County. During the event, participants will also have the opportunity to pick corn stalks, then husk and sieve them, activities that are in keeping with the time when carts full of corn stalks used to proudly leave the fields to reach the courtyards waiting for them with wide open gates.
