Created in 1990, the Festival of Hearts received its name as a tribute to those who sacrificed themselves in December '89 for the freedom of Romanians.
The Festival of Hearts is an annual folkloric event organized by the House of Culture Timișoara, in which many ensembles from all over the world participate, to celebrate the culture of each country through traditional dances and music.
The festival is held according to the international custom of CIOFF (International Council for the Organisation of Folklore Festivals - associate member of UNESCO).
In recent years, the Festival of Hearts has hosted performances in the Rozelor Park with:
- over 2,500 spectators daily in the Summer Theatre ,

- over 60.000 spectators, in 5 days ,
- an average of 50,000 viewers accessing the live broadcast daily ,

The Festival of Hearts occupies the most important place in the cultural agenda of our institution, as well as in the hearts of Timisoara's citizens, it being the first international festival in Romania after the 1989 Revolution and the largest folk festival in Europe to date. The main purpose of this festival is to preserve and promote the intangible cultural heritage of each country
