READING, Pa. – The second annual Romanian Festival brings a little piece of Romania to Reading.
Fest goers tried Romanian cuisine, danced to the authentic music, and shopped the vendors.
The Berks County Romanian Community Center spent over four months pulling this festival together.
This year, the fest is raising funds to for academic scholarship.
We talked with on of the people who were instrumental in bringing this cultural festival to life.
“All the work we put in, we have over 100 volunteers here. And all the work they put in, and when you see this location full of Romanians, it’s wonderful. Everything disappears. It’s a wonderful feeling,” said Cornel Costea, President of Romania Community Center.
The fest run until 6:00 p.m. Sunday night at the Reading Liederkranz in Reading.
