The EuroFestival, celebrating the Eurovision Song Contest arriving in Liverpool, has kickstarted its two weeks of celebrations.
From May 1 to May 14, the city will be transformed into a hub of culture, music, art, heritage and true stories that accurately represent a modern Ukraine. The festival is a love letter to the nation as Liverpool hosts the contest on their behalf.
Multiple events have already popped up around the city including the Soloveiko Songbirds and the Protect the Beats monument. Today marks the first day the majority of attractions and events are officially "open" for the public to enjoy.
