Emil Pantelimon, the executive director of the Festival and Fair, told
\nus that access to the fair is free, but, for certain objectives, one needs a
\nticket that can be bought at the ticket office and information points located
\non the premises.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
The Christmas Tale Festival and Fair has
\nreached its 4th edition. In the first stage, the festival had at its
\ndisposal an area of 100 square meters where we organized events for children
\nduring winter. Today, the Christmas Tale Festival and Fair has an area of 8
\nthousand square meters. At the fair, visitors will find elves’ workshops where
\nchildren can make decorations with which to adorn the fir trees they have at
\nhome, a big Santa Chair, collections of dioramas with thousands of small
\nhouses, a sledge stop from where kids are going to fly in Santa’s sledge, and
\nmany others. Among the outside attractions I can mention the only genuine sledge-run
\nin Bucharest, which measures 18 meters, a Christmas Tree around which carolers
\nwill gather together with Santas who will be playing their brass instruments.
\nThey will be playing carols every one hour, every day, just as it happens in
\nLondon’s Trafalgar Square. We’ll also have a merry-go-round with toys, where
\nchildren can play for the duration of the festival. We’ll have a skating rink
\nfor children, which is a replica of the one in the Rockefeller Center, with
\nlighted ice angels and a huge LED screen showing winter images for skaters.
\nThey will be transported by means of images to Europe or to America or even to
\nAsia, in the mountains or to some big cities.<\/p>\n

Next
\nEmil Pantelimon will reveal some of the surprises of the festival:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
The big surprise of the festival is
\nactually our mascot which can be found on all our promotional images, I’m
\ntalking about Santa’s real reindeers. Two of them will be present at the Christmas
\nTale Festival and children will be able to see them and have pictures with
\nthem, they will be able to even test Santa’s sleigh drawn by these reindeers.
\nWe will also have the biggest exhibition of decorated fir trees within the Shop
\nof Decorated Fir Trees, a shop created by the Comic Opera for Children where
\nvisitors will see 11 in-vogue ways to decorate the fir tree.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Stylists
\nrecommend all sorts of decorations, made of glass or wood, doll decorations or
\ndecorations consisting in Romanian traditional objects. Next Emil Pantelimon
\nwill tell us more about the team working for the festival: <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
We have a wonderful team that creates,
\ndesigns and dreams of everything that is related to childhood. It’s very
\nimportant that we have support from all points of view, and that the ideas and
\ndreams that we have can be put into practice. We are doing nothing but playing,
\nwe consider the workplace a place where we feel good and where our dreams
\nbecome reality. The Christmas Tale Festival is the way in which we are trying
\nto recreate the true Christmas spirit for the children in Bucharest.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Emil
\nPantelimon says that one of their main aims is to bring joy and happiness in
\nthe souls of the visitors: <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
It’s wonderful to watch children
\nentering, together with their parents, through the gates of the Fair: they
\nsimply start running in all directions amazed with what they see and parents
\nstart following them! Actually, parents should not worry at all about losing
\nsight of their children, because our team is very careful and is paying
\nattention to what’s happening around. Children are very safe within the
\npremises of the fair. It’s like a home receiving around 125 thousand guests.
\nThis is the actual atmosphere at the fair! Everybody is smiling, there is a
\npositive and warm atmosphere, but smiling is the key to success!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Emil
\nPantelimon also described the setting of this year’s Christmas Tale Fair, for
\nwhich a team of 20 people have been working since March: <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
The setting at the Christmas Tale Fair
\nwill of course be spectacular! We have 3 different fir trees. A fir tree surrounded
\nby small trains, in the room of dioramas, one shaped like a house in which
\nchildren can enter, and another one placed on the premises of the fair, similar
\nto that in Rockefeller Center, of a smaller size of course.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The
\natmosphere of the Fair invites one to enjoy Christmas every day, starting on
\nNovember 29 until mid January 2019.<\/p>\n
