Cotroceni Bazaar returns for a vibrant summer edition on June 14 and 15, 2025, inviting visitors to explore one of Bucharest’s most charming neighbourhoods through its open courtyards, creative workshops, artisan markets, music, and community activities.
This year, the festival will run from 12:00 to 21:00 on Saturday, June 14, and from 10:00 to 18:30 on Sunday, June 15. Over 150 courtyards across the Cotroceni neighbourhood will open their doors, welcoming the public with diverse programs including art exhibitions, craft workshops, live music, and culinary experiences.
This year, as you walk through Cotroceni, you will meet the neighbourhood community’s talents, professional experiences, passions, and stories. This year’s edition aims to be an exhibition platform for neighbours with special interests and an opportunity to learn so that we can then return to our daily lives with new ideas and treasures in our souls.
This year, in partnership with the Sector 6 City Hall, a special part of the neighbourhood comes to life through Cotroceni Bazaar, now part of the West Side events family. At the intersection of Ernest Juvara and Dimitrie Brânzdă streets, you’ll find activities for children, a musical moment on Saturday afternoon, and a children’s theatre performance on Sunday.
By joining the lineup of events like West Side Hallo Fest and West Side Flower Fest, Cotroceni Bazaar becomes another vibrant celebration within the West Side brand, bringing more energy and creativity to the local community.
