Culture
Cultural and social events are an important part of life in the Karlovy Vary Region. Many of these events are well known all over the world, e.g. the Karlovy Vary Film Festival. Mariánské Lázně hosts a Chopin Music Festival and Františkovy Lázně holds summer long concerts including a week of Johann Strauss. In Cheb there is an International Jazz Festival and Brass Music Festival performed by youth bands from the Czech Republic and abroad. Every year in June the opening of the spa season is a time of great celebration and attracts many visitors from the world over.
