Every festival, existing nowadays in Ukraine, is the constituent part of the common cultural panorama of the country and forms its cultural identity.
Festivals, as the part of artistic market of the country, carry out a great many of socio-cultural tasks, namely:

Unlike separate concerts, a festival gives an opportunity, by means of wide audience unification in common area, to join to the art, perceive and appraise it, and sometimes, participate in creative process. Thus, art is becoming closer to and more accessible for the public. Festivals promote artistic communication, as the new ideas are expressed, new projects are created, festival participants get a chance to exchange their experience and improve their professional skills.
The founder of festival movement in Vinytsia region was Vinnytsia Region Philarmonic Society. At the end of the 19th – beginning of the 20th century Vinnytsia region, as an independent cultural region of Ukraine, made itsel known for a number of various festivals and art projects.

The quantitative dynamics of concerts and venues, dynamic correlation of Ukrainian and foreign groups and musicians, quantity of participating countries have being analyzed, as well as the address direction of the art projects.
