Abstract

At the beginning of September 2019, the Border Guard Museum from the town of Năsăud (a former, up until 1918, border town of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, home of the 10^th Border Regiment), in association with the City Hall and Bistrița County Council, hosted the first edition of “The Border Guard’s Day” event, presented by Andrei Duban and Iulia Dragu, an occasion to celebrate the town’s rich cultural and military heritage. Throughout the day, audiences were rewarded with a military parade (including students in historical costumes and military uniforms, alongside the march of the 81^st Mechanized Brigade), an exhibition dedicated to the history of Năsăud’s border guards, medieval and folk dance (“Dancing Wings” and “Colibița” Ensemble),  music (Dan Pantiș – folk, as well as Vali Boghean Band), a folk art fair and, last but by no means least, a brief theatre performance entitled The Surprises of Life, presented by the renowned “Constantin Iugan” Unwritten Theatre Company® from the parish of Șanț, Bistrița-Năsăud County, Romania.
