About the show
On May 30 (Saturday), 2026, the charitable music and educational festival "CHEKAFEST 2.0" will be held for the second time on the territory of the Klymentiy Sheptytsky Museum of Folk Architecture and Life in Lviv.
The festival is dedicated to Iryna Tsybukh - the deceased combat medic, public figure and Hero of Ukraine. Iryna said that her personality stands firmly on the "pillars of values", and it was this idea that became the basis of the concept of the festival, which was first organized by her family and friends in 2025.
In 2026, "CHEKAFEST 2.0" will be held on the eve of Iryna's birthday. This is a space that unites values and preserves her memory through song, community, and mutual support.
The festival program will include several areas:
Educational part: lectures, talks, and discussions based on Iryna's values;
Musical part: performances by Ukrainian bands and singing by the campfire;
Ukrainian producers' fair: local craftsmen and brands will present their goods;
Memory spaces from the NGO "Vshanuy": corners dedicated to Iryna's life and ideas;
Food court: delicious food and drinks for all participants.
Activities will last from 10:00 to 22:00.
