Dear Visitor of Discover Ukraine Network,
we are working to inform you about Ukraine and the lifestyle of Ukrainian people. In this newsletter, we provide highlights of events and publications which appeared on our websites in July, 2008, and will announce about the upcoming events of August. You are welcome to read these articles and to send us your articles, ask questions or make suggestions.

In August, the picturesque Crimean Black sea coast attracts travelers from all over Ukraine and abroad. The noisy, dusty and busy cities become empty in summer because everyone leaves for vacations. And the best place in Ukraine for summer vacation is the Crimean Peninsula!

Partying all nights long, attending musical festivals, visiting fascinating sights, enjoying gorgeous subtropical nature and doing all sorts of outdoor activities – all this is available in Crimea, and has become a tradition through years.

Discover Ukraine Network invites everybody to take an adventure tour to Crimea!

By the end of June and through summer months theater season is over. Ballet and opera houses, concert halls and theaters are all closed for vacation. The new theater season starts only in September-October, and lasts till the next summer. This is why, as well as because of sunny and warm weather, many musical Festivals and Arts-and-Crafts Fairs acquire special popularity and attendance.

One of the most impressive annual Authentic Folk Festival in Ukraine has been held in Vinnitsa oblast. For several years now, Sheshory Fest attracts more and more hippie, musicians, music listeners and curious travelers.
