The country fair "În ospeție la Movila Măgura" reaches its 11th edition on 12 July, beside one of Moldova's highest points (388 m). Organised by the Movila Măgura Local Action Group (GAL), it brings together residents of the Ungheni, Fălești and Sângerei districts at Negurenii Vechi.
The town's side, from the second tier, found the net three times against Zimbru — a top-flight club — in a test match that ended 3-4. It is Ungheni's second pre-season test against an elite team, after a 0-0 draw with Dacia Buiucani.
The Ungheni District Council delegation, led by president Dionisie Ternovschi, marked 15 years since the 2011 twinning agreement at the Days of Arad County — and used the occasion for its first cooperation overtures toward Békés County in Hungary and the Vojvodina province in Serbia, handing over letters of intent.
Mayor Vitalie Vrabie has signed the order opening the 2026 summer season at the municipal beaches on the Prut River and Lake Delia from 21 June, with lifeguards on duty all summer. In a country where almost all drownings happen at unsupervised spots — 18 people have died that way since the start of 2026 — a beach with a lifeguard post is not a formality but a safety measure.
Members of the Ungheni Territorial Bureau of the International Police Association (IPA) cooked on 20 June at the “Culinary Adventures” gastronomic contest in the commune of Ighiu, Alba County, Romania. Under the banner “IPA Ungheni Territorial Bureau”, they showcased Moldovan cuisine across the Prut — a form of diplomacy through friendship, IPA's decades-old motto.
The Ungheni Territorial Football Association confirmed the score: in Division B of the district championship, FC Barsa Ungheni beat FC Florești 5-2, on the pitch in Cioropcani. The club says it finished the first half of the season on top and is moving on to the district Cup, where it will play the winner of FC Start Pîrlița versus FC Haiduc Bumbăta. This is the amateur football of the district's villages — a different tier from FCM Ungheni.
On 13 June, in the yard of the „La Prispa lui Vasile” house-museum in Florițoaia Veche, villagers mixed clay with straw and plastered the wall of a museum annex the old way. A clacă — the communal, voluntary work-bee of the past — organised by the Ungheni Culture Section, the „Țărăncuța” folk ensemble and the local town hall. In a district that has shrunk by almost a quarter in a decade, a village museum keeping tradition alive carries particular weight.
Serafim Godea (2nd place) and Kiril Stadnic (3rd place), from the Ungheni Children and Juniors Sports School, reached the podium in the youngest age category at the Chișinău Open table-tennis championship, dedicated to International Children's Day. The result, announced by Ungheni city hall, comes from a town that does not only send children to competitions but also hosts them: in 2026, Ungheni was the host of two national children's table-tennis championships.
At the end of June, when the Republic of Moldova marks the National Day of Folk Costume, the commune of Mănoilești in the Ungheni district is preparing its own celebration of traditional dress. Behind it stand a network of volunteers, the village House of Culture and the library — and a tradition that, in the Ungheni district, has in other years gathered seven localities. The programme is now confirmed: this year's edition takes place on 28 June, from 16.00, in the village park, with special guests Stela Botez, Petronela Popa and the “Șoimanii” ensemble.
