Wonder Family Fest 2026: More Than 70,000 Participants Proved That Life Is Better Together
The festival’s fourth edition will take place from July 30 to August 1, 2027.
Tickets are already on sale in a limited Super Early Bird edition, with buyers automatically entered into a prize draw to win a €1,000 holiday voucher.
More than 70,000 participants chose to spend three unforgettable days at Wonder Family Fest 2026. From July 31 to August 2, Wonderland Resort was once again transformed into a place where every generation found its own space, with entertainment and activities designed for children, parents, and grandparents alike.
From creative workshops and themed areas to magic shows, dance performances, and live concerts, the festival brought together experiences for all ages. Children, parents, and grandparents each had their own reason to stay from morning until night.
Darius Mârza, CEO of Wonderland Resort, said:
“If Wonder Family Fest encouraged children to spend more time with their parents, friends to reconnect, and grandparents to dance alongside their grandchildren, then we’ve set another domino piece in motion. That’s where real change begins.”
Three Themed Stages, Entertainment for Every Generation
This year’s Main Stage welcomed some of Romania’s biggest music stars alongside internationally acclaimed artists.
For younger audiences, Gașca Zurli, Iuliana Beregoi, Familia Melimi, and Alina Sorescu delighted thousands of children and families, while Rareș, Horia Brenciu, Omerit, Boney M. Experience, and Fantomel & Kate Linn completed an outstanding concert lineup.
The Kids Stage, located inside the Orchid Hall, hosted educational performances, games, competitions, concerts, and interactive shows throughout the festival. Covering more than 1,200 square meters, the venue was filled to capacity for every performance.
Meanwhile, the Latino Stage once again became one of the festival’s liveliest attractions. Dance schools from Cluj-Napoca, together with Wilmark and his dancers, invited visitors to learn the first steps of salsa, bachata, and merengue.
The stage also marked the starting point of the spectacular Grand Parade, which crossed the entire festival, bringing together thousands of participants in a vibrant explosion of music and color.
The celebration reached its climax when five SkyDive Transilvania parachutists landed near the Main Stage carrying giant flags announcing the dates of the next edition:
July 30 – August 1, 2027.

“Special Moment” Delivered the Festival’s Most Powerful Message
One of the highlights of this year’s edition was the inspirational discussion held on the Main Stage during the festival’s opening day on July 31.
Together with Darius Mârza, Wonderland Resort owner, creators Theo Zeciu, Dorian Popa, Mircea Bravo, and Daniel Cafeluța shared a common belief: every individual has the power to create meaningful change in society.
Darius Mârza explained:
“A single domino piece may seem insignificant. But when it starts moving in the right direction, it sets dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of others in motion. That’s exactly what we wanted to express through our message: ‘Be the piece that creates change.’ During these three days, we saw children making new friends, parents putting their phones aside, grandparents dancing with their grandchildren, and thousands of people rediscovering the joy of spending quality time together. To me, that’s the true success of Wonder Family Fest. If everyone goes home determined to become the person who creates positive change within their family or community, then we have fulfilled our mission.”
The full “Special Moment” is available here:
Parenting Workshop with Urania Cremene
Among the festival’s most appreciated educational sessions was the parenting workshop “Why Don’t Children Listen?”, presented by parenting expert Urania Cremene.
Parents learned what lies behind children’s refusals and emotional outbursts, how to establish healthy boundaries without conflict, and practical alternatives to simply saying “No.”
The session also introduced practical techniques for encouraging children’s cooperation without relying on punishments or rewards, while offering real-life solutions for everyday parenting challenges.
Dario Adiletta Wins the First-Ever ASTRALIS Trophy
The inaugural ASTRALIS International Magic Competition, hosted as part of Wonder Family Fest, attracted talented magicians from Italy, Germany, Spain, Poland, Bulgaria, and Romania.
Following an impressive final gala, the international jury awarded the ASTRALIS Grand Trophy to Dario Adiletta.
The podium was completed by The Phobias and Matteo Cucchi, making it an all-Italian top three.
Enchanted Forest – The Festival’s Peaceful Escape
Just a short walk from the festival’s vibrant atmosphere, the Enchanted Forest became a peaceful sanctuary for visitors looking to relax.
Hammocks, bean bags, lounge areas, outdoor massages, and the shade of the surrounding forest transformed this space into one of the festival’s favorite attractions.
