Bucharest Fountain Show will entertain the inhabitants of Bucharest again in 2025, starting on 23 May.
Over the years, the Water Symphony has become a symbol of Bucharest’s summer – an emblematic show that combines cutting-edge technology and pure emotion in a fascinating choreography. Every weekend, the artesian fountains in Unirii Square become the main actors in a grand outdoor show, captivating thousands of spectators of all ages.
In 2025, water games, light and sound come together in a visual and auditory experience that evokes the magic of stories on the big screen. Thus, the sixth edition of the fountain show is dedicated to a universe full of brilliance that has fascinated and continues to inspire generations worldwide – THE GALAXY OF LEGENDARY FILMS. This edition brings the music of famous films back to life and reinterprets each iconic story through a fusion of technology and art, offering the audience a memorable experience.
The water show „Galaxy of Legendary Movies” will debut on May 23 at 9:00 PM, with the official opening of the new season of shows. In addition, the new theme will be complemented by a unique moment with drones, which will illustrate legendary figures and symbols from the world of film in the sky, on May 31, June 14 and July 5.
Apa Nova, the Capital’s water and sewerage provider, has invested more than 7 million euros in restoring the fountains in Unirii Square, helping transform the area into an urban attraction for both Bucharest residents and tourists.
The Urban Fountains in Piaţa Unirii will offer visitors multimedia shows from Friday until Sunday until the beginning of September. They have varied themes, and the selected songs complete the magic the water and lights show created. In May and August, the show will start at 9:00 p.m (8:30 PM – 10:30 PM); In June and July, they will return at 9:30 p.m (9:00 PM – 11:00 PM); and in September, they will begin at 8:00 p.m (7:30 PM – 9:30 PM). The shows last about 45 minutes, and it’s free to attend.
The artesian fountains in Bucharest are the first urban fountains in Europe to benefit from cutting-edge water entertainment equipment and technology. Some elements are unique in Europe, such as the entirely digitally monitored system, allowing control of any individual unit of the 44 independent fountains. Unirii Boulevard is nearly 1.4 kilometres long in total.
The fountains in Unirii Square, built in the late 1980s, were recognized, approved, and published in 2019 by the World Record Academy as the longest string of Synchronized Choreographic Fountains in the World. With a water surface of 16,200 m2, they are unique in their arrangement in the centre of the Capital.
