As part of Timișoara Days, Guitar Day begins with a vibrant urban activation. Dozens of guitarists from the Pune Mâna pe Chitară community come together in one of the city's most iconic landmarks—Liberty Square—turning the public space into a unique open-air stage as they perform a shared repertoire.
This collective moment is an open invitation to everyone who believes in the power of music to transform places, bring people together, and inspire new generations of artists.
The event embodies the spirit of the Pune Mâna pe Chitară community—collaboration, participation, and the joy of making music together. It also serves as an opportunity to strengthen Timișoara's local guitar community, inspire new participants, and demonstrate how music can activate urban spaces and build meaningful connections between people, regardless of age or musical experience.
"The Play Cultural Association is a nonprofit organization founded in 2013 that develops cultural and artistic education projects for children and young people. Born out of the need to improve access to education through the arts, the association aims to contribute to the transformation of local communities through culture, fostering creativity, collaboration, and the personal development of new generations.
Over the course of its 13 years of activity, the Play Cultural Association has implemented over 30 cultural projects and programs with educational value, involving thousands of participants from both urban and rural areas. Among its most important initiatives are The Story of the Guitar, the Classic Junior Festival, the Guitar Meeting Festival, Sibiu Sounds, the George Enescu International Festival in Sibiu and Cluj, Guitar Day, Rock Music Week in Schools, and Guitar Nomad. Through these projects, the association promotes education through culture, the discovery and support of artistic talent, and the development of an active, creative, and responsible community."
