A small industrial town Comanesti is where huge numbers of visitors from as far away as Japan choose to spend part of the winter holiday season.


They converge to see an annual event: Bearskin-clad people of all ages, organised in packs, marching and dancing to the deafening sound of drums in several rows of gaping jaws and claws.


The Dancing Bears Festival starts in the days before Christmas and ends with a spectacular finale in Comanesti on December 30.
