    It is a beautiful event for all children of the town, but also for the parents.
    Every year is placed exactly in the centre of Piatra Neamt.
    This Stephan the Great Square becomes, every year in December, a very popular pedestrian zone of the city.
    This surrounding is changed into a frequented amusement park.
    Thousand lights, wonderful games of many colours, numerous candies to the buys, Christmas jewellery, shining garlands and of course many children, makes from this place, a fairy-tale earth.

    Address: Piata Stefan cel Mare, Piatra Neamt
