The Historic Centre of Sibiu hosts the International Ecotourism Fair from 24 to 27 September 2026, bringing regional destinations, food producers and craftspeople to the Great Square. The event takes place in the centrul istoric al Sibiului and is organised by Sibiu County Council, ASTRA Museum and the Sibiu County Tourism Association.
International Ecotourism Fair runs in Sibiu until 27 September
The second edition of the fair opened on 24 September 2026 and continues through 27 September in the Great Square. The event has international participation and presents ecotourism destinations from Maramure?, Neam?, Dobrogea, Hunedoara, Harghita, Covasna and Sibiu, alongside a contribution from Hungary.
The programme combines destination presentations with local food, demonstrations by traditional craftspeople and activities connected with nature, culture and local communities. The fair’s official programme details also identify the Hiker in Your Town initiative, which returns with activities for primary, lower-secondary and upper-secondary pupils.
The city event is linked to a wider regional tourism programme rather than being limited to a commercial market. It places food traditions and craft skills from several Romanian regions in the same square where visitors can also orientate themselves around Sibiu’s historic core.
Great Square connects the fair with Sibiu’s older city
The Great Square is one of the principal public spaces in the historic centre and provides the fair with an urban setting surrounded by historic buildings. The city’s heritage service records Sibiu as documented since 1191 and describes its historical heritage as extending over more than 900 years.
That long timeline gives the September programme a clear local context. Visitors encounter contemporary ecotourism promotion in a city whose official heritage service also presents a fortress, historic buildings, churches and surviving historical maps as parts of its architectural inheritance. The Sibiu heritage overview places the city’s history and built environment together, while the fair brings present-day rural destinations into the same setting.
What the organisers bring to the Great Square
The fair is organised through Sibiu County Council, ASTRA Museum and the county tourism association, with the city square serving as its public venue. The event page lists the Great Square for 24 to 27 September 2026 and describes the programme as an international edition.
Food is represented through local gastronomic points, while craftspeople demonstrate skills and present products connected with their home regions. The Hiker in Your Town programme adds educational and activity-based elements for pupils, creating a direct link between the central venue and the landscapes promoted by the fair.
