The Pancake Festival in Prejmer
Year after year, the village of Prejmer in Brașov County hosts a festival that attracts hundreds of tourists from all over the country. The Pancake Festival is an old Saxon tradition held in Prejmer annually.
Highlights of the Festival
Local housewives compete to cook the best pancakes, but the highlight of the festival is a cart that travels through the village, baking pancakes that are then distributed to passersby.
In the evening, pancakes take center stage again at a Masquerade Ball held right at the fortress.
Unique Customs
Another custom involves young men stealing a girl in the cart, who her parents must then redeem.
The Pancake Festival takes place every year in February. The festival is a perfect opportunity to visit the fortress in this locality, a fortress attacked 50 times by the Ottomans, without ever being conquered.
