The Golden Stag Festival (Romanian: Cerbul de Aur) is an international pop song contest, festival, and award show, held annually in the Piața Sfatului of Braşov, Romania.
First held in 1968, the festival honors musical talents both in Romania and abroad.
Non-Romanian honorees who have participated in the festival include Josephine Baker, Pia Colombo, Dalida, Diana Ross, Amália Rodrigues, Julio Iglesias, Sheryl Crow, Tom Jones, Coolio, Christina Aguilera, Kenny Rogers, Ricky Martin, The Kelly Family, Jerry Lee Lewis and Patricia Kaas.
Culturally significant non-musician Romanians, such as Romanian cartoonist Ștefan Popa-Popas have also participated.
History
The Golden Stag was first held in 1968, but after 1971 it was banned by the Communist leadership. After the fall of Communism, new editions were organised starting from 1992. Between 2010 and 2017 the festival wasn't held due to lack of funds. It returned in 2018.[1]
The Golden Stag Festival takes place during the summer and is broadcast live by Romanian TV station TVR1.
