Harvest Day was continued from Antiquity to communism in the Romanian folk tradition. Its highest point was during the communist years, when it was marked in the last days of October.
The location of festivals are usually a characteristic place of the region from the point of view of history and culture.

In September and October we enjoy harvesting important crops such as sunflower, soybeans, potatoes, corn, sugar beets and at the same time laying the foundations for next year's harvest.

It is translated simply, in English,            "Cheese and Pastrami Festival", but the Romanian name is more profound than that. In Romanian the festival is named "Ravasitul oilor" and if we were to translate by word, it means "scattering the sheep herd". This custom gathers millenniums of transhumance on Romanian territory. Its location is Transylvania.

As Dobrogea is the home of wine and vineyards, the must, is the real catch of Harvest day. Fiddlers play songs of joy and every housewife brings her best zacusca made out of eggplants.

During the Harvest day in entire Muntenia (Old Wallahia) is like a colourful natural set, due to the various tints of cereals, fruits. Vegetables, from eggplants to simple potatoes, lie on every stall. The tuica from the harvest of the year is savoured for flavour, the must is delighted for sweetness while a snack of various types of cow cheese. The ladies of the village bake pumpkins or even, better, pumpkin pies for the delight of the passers-by.

In Bucovina apples, plums, grapes and nuts cover the stall of the markets. The must goes with salted nuts, while the housewives cook „sarmale” in small sizes, like a bite for the villagers around. Grapes, vegetables and of course tuica are stars of the party. As there cannot exist party without music, local orchestras and singers  call people to dance.

Every autumn, in villages of Romania a celebration of ground yields happens. The peasants, old and young, harvest all the fruits and vegetables they farmed over the year. The housewives prepare pickles, salted canned goods, tomato juice, jams and “zacusca” for the cold days of winter. After they picked the grapes and yield the corn a large food festival happens within the community.
There will be the "must" the juice of fresh grapes, sweet and flavoured, the juice which is to be transformed into wine. Must goes very well with pastrami and salted cheese and, of course plenty of chestnuts.
