The organizers voiced hope that the pandemic situation will be favorable and the halls could be filled by observing the imposed sanitary norms.

The festival’s budget is of 2.3 million lei. The money will be used to organize 19 concerts in Chisinau and 15 concerts in other localities of the country.

Minister of Culture Sergiu Prodan said that he and his Romanian counterpart discussed the possibility of staging the festival in Romania too as from next year given that the martsishors was added to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List. “We can hold a common, broad Martsishor Festival. It is a tradition of the Republic of Moldova that deserves to be multiplied and this festival should be wider in scale and should have a bright future,” stated the minister, noting that a Martsishor Fair will be staged this year in the square of the National Palace, where the Christmas Fair was set up earlier. The event is to be opened on February 24.
