The Junii Feast
What is it?
A yearly festival called “Junii” (translated it would be “The Feast of the Young”
When?
On the first week after Easter, when it is the time to celebrate the new year of the Dacians, the ancestors of the Romanians. It is also the celebration of spring, the renewing of nature and the beginning of life.
The oldest document recorded in which this procession is mentioned in 26th March 1728, but it is assumed that the celebration already existed in antiquity.
How?
Seven groups of men from Schei will ride from the mountains and travel around Brasov. There are 7 groups due to the religious belief that God made the world in 7 days. They will be carrying with them mace like batons, which are scepters and flags, along with each group having their special and unique costumes.

Each group comes also from a different quarter in the Schei neighbourhood. The costumes of each differ through colour and badges.
The uniqueness of the event: the traditional costumes that they wear, some made around 1730’s. The basic outfit consists of a special pair of trousers, boots, a long white linen shirt with the sleeves garnished with national motifs and a hat. The horses are also traditionally decorated.
Symbols:
The Romanian flag also plays an important part in this occasion.
Traditional songs are sung and dances danced.
Young men are then placed, one by one, in the middle of the dancers and throw the scepter highest in the air, while some pass some tests of maturity and bravery. Whoever throws the scepter highest in the air wins the competition.

After the ritual ends, if the weather is good, The Junii and their families will have a barbecue with traditional music and the Romanian hamburger called “mic”.
