Moldovan Traditions Celebrated in the US

The Moldovan diaspora in the USA celebrated a traditional Moldovan holiday - Martisor. Martisor is the celebration of beginning of spring, life and love in Moldova. Moldovans give each other red-and-white martisors, and wear them close to their hearts throughout March.

This celebration was organized by the Moldovans' Community in DC, Moldovan Embassy in the US with the support of several companies and organizations established by and/or run by Moldovans such as the Moldova Foundation, Moldova House, BIP Moldova, etc. It included a fashion show by designer Valentina Vidrascu, photography contest, Moldovan traditional food contest and lots of music. Around 200 people, mostly Moldovans from Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania and New York, attended this event. With Evghenia Berzan's permission, here are some pictures from this event.

It would be nice to hear from people that contributed to the organization of and/or participated in this unique event of the Moldovan diaspora in the US.
