The Gustar Music Festival is the first Moldovan festival that in 2010 transferred live music and the concert stage to the natural amphitheater of one of the most beautiful historic places of Moldova – “Orheiul Vechi” reserve. Gustar included Moldova in the list of European countries with the best music festivals. The name of the festival derives from an old Latin word meaning “August”.
