The festival previously took place during the summer, but more recently was moved to the autumn. For 2006, the organisers are considering staging the festival in the spring to ensure the presence of top artists.

In recent years, the Golden Stag Festival has been sponsored entirely by TVR, after the Municipality of Bra?ov and the Romanian Ministry of Culture decided to stop funding the event.

"Our only goal is to let the public enjoy quality music - and this we will do, by concentrating on the artists, and not the date or the location of the festival." TVR spokesperson
