    The Nedeia of Polovragi is one of the biggest annual fairs in Oltenia, Romania, taking place from July 14-20. Originally known as the largest fair in Romania, it began as a small local market but grew over time. Traders would bring bells, ropes, saddles and other goods to sell. While the organization has modernized, some old traditions like potters bringing clay wares and horse-drawn carousels have been lost. In recent years, alongside the commercial fair, traditional celebrations have been held including parades of folk costumes, crafts fairs, and folk performances to preserve the cultural traditions.

    NEDEIA OF POLOVRAGI

    The fair in Polovragi, also known as the Fair of St.


    Elijah or Nedeia of Polovragi, takes place yearly
    from July 14 to July 20 and is one of the biggest
    holidays of the year, in Oltenia, attended by
    hundreds of traders and thousands of participants
    from several regions of the country. In the past, it
    was known as the biggest fair in Romania.

    On this holiday, a small fair used to be held, where merchants


    brought bells, shingles, ropes, harnesses, leather saddles,
    shoes. The form of organization has changed over time and
    many of the old traditions have been lost.
    The potters who brought clay pots, bowls, jugs, wrapped in
    hay and placed in oxen carts, no longer come. We no longer
    meet the horse-drawn carousels or the fiddlers around whom
    the peasants were dancing.
    PRESERVATION OF TRADITIONS

    In addition to the fair, which has taken on the imprint of modernity, in the
    past years there have taken place traditional celebrations that consist of a
    parade of the folk costumes in the area, the craft fair and a folk show.
