Over the course of four days, the event will take place in ten Transylvanian localities, offering a unique and diverse cultural experience. Among the main attractions of the program are the spectacular parade of Saxon fanfares, which will fill the village streets with the cheerful and rhythmic sounds of traditional music. Visitors will also have the opportunity to discover a stone barn in Archita, a remarkable example of traditional Saxon architecture.
One of the most anticipated events of the festival is the jazz concert organized at Rupea Citadel. This event will bring a touch of elegance and refinement to the festive atmosphere of Haferland Week, offering an interesting contrast between traditional Saxon music and contemporary jazz.
