Khetane Festival was first held in the Pata Rât area of Cluj-Napoca. “Khetane” means “together” in Romani, reflecting the festival’s aim of bringing communities together, particularly with the Roma community living in Pata Rât. Around 1,600 people attended for live music, a fashion show, talks and debates.
Highlights included performances by IMPEX, DJ Plastic, Alex de la Cluj, and Prințesa de Aur, a memorable contestant from the 2016 X Factor Romania. Attendees and performers alike praised the festival’s positive atmosphere and community spirit, despite the typically challenging circumstances of the Pata Rât area. The festival also provided an opportunity for public dialogue, attended by social leaders, politicians, and activists, though notable absences were observed among official representatives
