In 2010, Gustar Music Festival was the first festival when the live music and sounds of a usual concert were moved to the ‘’stage’’ of a natural amphitheater - one of the most beautiful historical places of Moldova. Due to this fact, Moldova was included in the list of the European states with the best music festivals. The name of the festival is not accidental either, as ‘’gustar’’ is an old word with Latin origins, which means ‘’August.’’
