The article examines currently active traditional hussar associations that are part of reenactment movements in Szeklerland (Romania). The concept of the hussar is no longer used in military contexts but rather in leisure time activities. The heritage-preserving hussars actively participate in the cultural life of Harghita County through spectacular hussar parades and colorful performances and customs, rich in representations and symbols. The hussars also have their own invented traditions, where the intention of nation-building is palpable. It is important for them to live and represent their national identity, set examples, preserve traditions, build communities, and revive and live the Szekler-Hungarian traditions. They also play an active role in reviving the historical equestrian past of the Szekler region and promoting equestrian sports.
