About
Cabbage cultivation has a centuries-old tradition in Frumoasa (Harghita), where seedlings are planted during the week of Saint Ladislaus, coinciding with the village’s patron saint celebration, and harvesting takes place in mid-October. On this occasion, locals organize a fair and festivities, bringing together people from three villages – Bârzava/Borzsova, Nicolești/Csíkszentmiklós and Frumoasa/Szépvíz.
Cabbage is one of the staple ingredients of Szekler cuisine. Alongside housewives, men and young people also cook in teams, preparing their best cabbage-based dishes, which visitors can taste on site. At the fair, in addition to local meat and dairy products, artisans and craftspeople offer their handmade goods for sale.
Those who grow tired of eating and shopping can enjoy the folk performances on stage. The cabbage fair and harvest traditionally conclude with a folk dance.
