Samba batukada drummers, cabaret dancers, circus artists, and fantastic characters alongside Romanian actors and festival volunteers will launch the "B-Fit in the Street" anniversary edition of the University Square, and then invite spectators to a walk in the main markets of Bucharest until late at night.
