“I invite Bucharest residents and tourists to the Christmas Story fair in the courtyard of the Children’s Comic Opera (Julesti Building, No. 16). Here, the organizers are waiting for the little ones with an ice rink, a carousel, a story train and even a scarecrow – a unique attraction in Bucharest. There is even Santa Claus, who has his own house in Targu, and the children’s choirs of the National Cantus Mundi program sing daily on the Carolingian Stage. A Christmas Story has no shortage of ideas for gifts, books, toys, treats or souvenirs,” Mayor Nikushor Dan wrote on his Facebook page on Sunday.

There are also 32 elf workshops for children, where kids can create various items and decorations: Christmas tree crowns, holiday candles, greeting cards or globes.

On December 24, the schedule is 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and on December 25 the fair will be closed.
