They also love music in Lviv - in particular, jazz, which is evidenced by the two-week Leopolis Jazz Fest. Starting at the end of June and ending at the beginning of the second summer month, it is the most significant musical event in the entire region. A visit to the festival is a great opportunity to hear popular hits from world-famous performers and discover new names in music, as well as improve guitar playing at master classes. At that time, three open-air stages are set up on Market Square, in Bohdan Khmelnytskyi Central Park, and near the Potocki Palace.
Another festival will be interesting for gourmets - namely, the Chocolate Festival. During its holding (usually, at the beginning of March), in the Palace of Arts, you can not only taste great dishes from the "subject of the occasion", but also see interesting hand-made figures of it and create a chocolate work of art on your own. The festival is very popular with the smallest ones, so when traveling to Lviv in early March, it is certainly worth taking children with you. The Coffee Festival is of special interest too. The coffee fair starts in mid-September on Market Square. Here you can choose the best coffee after tasting hundreds of varieties from different manufacturers, see barista competitions, and cheer up for the Coffee King and Queen. Beer lovers, in their turn, will appreciate the Beer Festival that is held in early May, unlike the famous German Oktoberfest. !FESTrepublic Club has served as the venue for many years already. Here, visitors can taste craft beers from local and global manufacturers, listen to good music, and learn a lot of interesting facts about beer-drinking culture. Besides, visitors to the festival can enjoy an exhibition of vinyl records and beer brewing workshops. The festival's warm family atmosphere contributes to getting great impressions, getting to know local people and just having a good time with them.
