About The Gallery
Fairs like the one in Romania’s Titu, northwest of Bucharest, which is on its 187th edition, were the sole public entertainment in the rural parts of the country in the 19th-century. However, these fairs continue to attract the public, owing to easy access and affordability. Thousands flock to fields outside small cities, where entertainment areas are set up from mid-week until the weekend. While younger people focus on the fairground rides and games, the elderly take advantage of the markets, stocking up on winter supplies of fruits, vegetables and other household items available at lower prices than in Romania's mainstream shops.
