Only a few free places remain for Bucharest’s “Table That Unites” Guinness record attempt

Bucharest is filling up for an ambitious communal gathering: 20,000 people are being invited to sit at one table in Constitution Square and along Unirii Boulevard on September 12, in an attempt to enter Guinness World Records.

More than 14,000 places have already been reserved in the first two weeks of registration. Applications remain open at masacareuneste.ro until the final places are taken. Participants are coming from every county in Romania and from abroad, with Bucharest leading registrations. Large groups have also formed in Alba Iulia, Cluj-Napoca and Constanța.

Some guests previously took part in last year's “Table That Unites” record event in Alba Iulia. The largest group registered so far comes from the Sector 6 Food Bank, with more than 1,000 participants. Romanians, Saxons and Germans are organizing groups in Germany, while Romanians in Italy have invited Italian friends and acquaintances to join them in Bucharest.

Entry begins at 4 p.m. Each participant will receive details by email about their assigned section and entrance gate. The program includes parades, artistic performances and concerts. At 5:45 p.m., all 20,000 participants must be seated simultaneously for the official Guinness verification. A Guinness representative is scheduled to announce the result at 6:30 p.m., followed by charity concerts from 7 p.m.

The concerts will support construction of the first pediatric psychiatric hospital unit at the “Prof. Dr. Alexandru Obregia” Clinical Psychiatric Hospital. The facility is intended to benefit more than 5,700 children each year who live with severe mental health conditions.

“Table That Unites” is a project built through the involvement of an entire community, and the partners who chose to join us play an essential role in turning this idea into an event of such scale.
