St. George – the patron saint of Drobeta Tumu Severin
Since 1990, the mayoralty of the municipal town of Drobeta Turnu Severin has resumed the festival dedicated to the days of the town and its patron saint. They had been interrupted after the Second World War.
The days of Drobeta Turnu Severin take place every year on the 22nd and 23rd of April when the birthday of the town and the religious feast day of its patron saint are being celebrated. Year after year, the festival has been more and more extensive and better prepared.

The festivals have included scientific debates and symposiums dedicated to the history of the town, feasts, exhibitions, contests, parades of old costumes or of those belonging to the Mehedinti district, musical performances, dances, fire works and, most of all, a lot of good mood.
Almost the entire population of the town has attended such activities enthusiastically. They have had outstanding guests, both from Romania and from abroad.
Every year, various officials from the twin town of Orly (France) and from many other European cities and towns on the Danube take part in the town festival with particular and renewed pleasure.
