9th Csűrdöngölő Children’s and Youth Folk Dance Festival – Spring Folk Dance Celebration – held in Csíkszereda’s main square on May 13, 2005. Children’s dance groups from some 40 Hungarian communities mainly in Székelyföld, Csík and Gyergyó regions of Transylvania performed. The event was heldin tandem with a folk crafts fair, the day before the Csíksomlyó Pentecost pilgrimage. The decision to hold the event on this date was deliberate – in the words of an organizer, „People from all over the world came for the Whitsuntide pilgrimage. Thus people attended the event that hadnever seen anything like it... it was entertaining, interesting and gave the news that our people living at home here (in Transylvania) are both busy and active.” At some point during the performances, the entire audience in the square spontaneously began to dance.
