Romania Day on Broadway - The XXI Edition
The XXI Edition of the Romania Day Festival took place on Sunday, June 12, on Broadway, under the severe threat of heavy rain and thunderstorms.
The forecast put a damper and a real challenging gloom over the entire event initially, but winds and rain came to an end as the sun came out strong by Noontime. Many decided to stay home initially, but several thousand tourists and Diaspora members turned out and stayed well beyond the 5:00 p.m. closure time of the event. This year, the Romania Day Festival turn out to be another success, with a remarkable turnout on the half on the second half of the day. The celebrated Canyon of Heroes on Lower Broadway in Manhattan (between Liberty St. and Bowling Green Plaza) – became a dedicated Romanian mini-island filled with music, dans, recitals, costumes, an honor guard military show, and traditional foods enjoyed by an audience from over 100 countries. This is the very same Broadway stretch that honored global celebrities – from presidents like Dawit Eisenhauer, Charles de Gaulle, a dozen Prime Ministers, Pope John Paul II, Charles Lindberg, Amelia Earhart, Neil Armstrong, Queen Maria of Romania, Queen Elisabeth of England, general McArthur, general Ben-Gurion and may, many other world-famous people.

Bringing Romania closer to America!
Although I’ve been living in the United States for more than forty years, Romania will always have a special place in my heart. This is not because I remain its faithful citizen and not because I trace my roots for almost three centuries in the country, but because I can’t think of a better, more loyal and passionate friend that America has than this critical European partner. The Romania Day on Broadway Festival honors this partnership and commitment and brings together the best of both nations in the heart of New York City – Broadway.
