The Transilvanian Brunch began in 2008 as an initiative of the Local Action Group association Microregion Hartibaciu in order to promote the Hartibaciu Valley and local products, especially the very small producers. It also was a good place for multicultural exchanges - "outside of the regular program" - for those working on tourism, culture, rural and social development, organic agriculture, renovation and restoration, parts of shich can be found in many initiatives and projects. The brunches are organized on the last Saturday of every month in a special location and feature a culinary theme, for example, an old fashioned train ride, hikes along a cultural trail, local music, etc.
