Who we are ?
A.O. 'Poiana People' is a public association established by a group of dedicated individuals with a shared mission: to organize an annual cultural event of significant impact in the villages of Moldova. We are descendants of Moldova's past, who have journeyed to Europe in search of a brighter future, yet remain deeply connected to our roots.
Each year in August, we unite with the diaspora to return home, where we rekindle cherished memories and celebrate our cultural heritage through music and dance, alongside our parents, grandparents, and loved ones.
