The Mai Dulce Festival in Chisnau, Moldova, is the stuff dreams are made of, for anyone with a sweet tooth. Choose from a wide variety of homemade traditional Moldovan sweets including croissants with rose petal jam, pastries with poppy seeds, and a variety of cakes, jams, cookies, cupcakes, and candy. Held in May every year, the event draws a huge crowd of people of all ages, eager to binge on sweet treats and soak in the cheerful atmosphere. The adults relive their childhood, while children celebrate the beginning of summer vacations. Let your inner child out as you dress up in a colourful costume (which fits the theme, of course), attend workshops with professional chefs and food bloggers where you can watch desserts being prepared live. Try your hand at face painting or say hello to friendly clowns and jugglers on the streets. There are also workshops for your little ones where they can learn about baking cookies, making candles, and pottery.
