Easter (March/April): Bucovina's most significant holiday - painted eggs, midnight church services at the monasteries, and traditional foods like pască (sweet cheese bread). Putna and Voroneț draw large numbers of pilgrims for the Paschal services.
Rădăuți Days & Folk Festivals (Summer): Various towns host summer folk festivals with traditional costume, music, and dance performances, plus craft fairs featuring painted eggs and black pottery.
Hram (Monastery Patron Saint Days): Each monastery celebrates its patron saint's feast day with special services and pilgrim gatherings - Putna's hram in particular draws large crowds; check dates in advance if hoping to avoid or join the crowds.
Christmas & Winter Traditions (December): Village carolers (colindători) go door to door in traditional dress; some Bucovina villages retain distinctive local carols and masked winter rituals (like the 'Malanka' traditions near the Ukrainian border) not seen elsewhere in Romania.
