International Children's Friendship Festival 2026

ARCS is excited to participate again at this year’s International Children’s Friendship Festival! We will share a table with members from the local Moldovan community to promote Romania and Moldova, so please come stop by!

International Children’s Friendship Festival is an event that is run by children and features performances by children. Various nationalities are represented through music, folk dancing and art. The children celebrate their international friendship through experiencing the rich tapestry of the world’s cultures. The event is free and open to the public.

We are looking for children and teenagers of Romanian or Moldovan descent who are passionate to share their heritage!
We have several volunteering options: from helping us plan to creating website content/brochures to leading activities and engaging with visitors. If you would like to volunteer, please fill out this form. We will confirm actual volunteer slots closer to the festival. For inquiries email us at youth@arcsproject.org. 

If you cannot volunteer this time, just swing by to see us at the festival!
