A folk event that has ancient roots, the Mount Ceahlau Feast is held at Durau,
Romania, at the foot of Mount Ceahlau. The mountain was considered sacred to the
Dacians, the ancestors of the present Romanians, and was the scene of their annual celebrations. In those days, people climbed to the summit to greet the sun with religious ceremonies and feasts. Today there are demonstrations of such sports as wrestling and foot racing, and exhibits and sales of
folk art.
