Festivals attract a lot of visitors to Cluj and have really changed the city and
accelerated its growth. It’s best known for electronic music events,
particularly Electric Castle (15-17 July 2020), which won the best medium-
sized festival at the 2019 European Festival Awards. Untold is another major
electronica festival (30 July-2 August) and this year sees the launch of Form
Days, a music and arts extravaganza in Gilău, outside the city (2-5 July). Cluj has
a big history with jazz too, and Jazz in the Park (25-28 June) was named best
small festival 2019.
Cluj is a lively student city with a great craft beer and cocktail scene. Joben
Bistro is a steampunk bar with a focus on cocktails and Enigma also has a
steampunk theme: the decor is amazing, with its kinetic sculptures, and it even
has beer cocktails – try bloody beers with chilli sauce! Insomnia attracts artists
and actors – it started as a photo gallery and became a bar – and Booha Bar is a
must, especially at the weekend.
