The annual Fethiye Festival of World Music will be taking place again this year 8 - 11th May - pick up a leaflet for the programme of this and other events taking place at the Mozaik Bahçe - only available in Turkish at the moment.

If its half as good as last year it will be well worth attending - here are some of my images from last year

Brilliant!  I was so disappointed I couldn't go last year.  You can't beat live music

This ends the day before my boys get here they are arriving a week later than planned because of 2 gigs they are playing back in the Uk. They would have loved this.

I will be there though

More information from Fethiye Times on the International Culture and Arts Festival starting this week.

Seems there is already something going on in the square

Here is another English version of the programme

I have been "promised" a schedule of the line up for who is performing, when and where for the world music evenings when it is ready as there are apparently going to be some sunset performances in Çaliş and Ölüdeniz (and Goçek too I think).

This year performances allegedly start at 7pm, earlier than last year.

If and when I hear more I will update here

4pm FESTIVAL PARADE will start at Tuesday Market, pass through Gaffar Okan Str., Atatürk Str., Çarşı Str., Hükümet Str. and will end in Beşkaza Square.

I am adding this here so it doesn't get separated on the next page and getting this info is like being on the receiving end of extracting teeth so I hope that I'm not posting for the benefit of myself!

"Evening Corcerts are in BESKAZA SQUARE as last year. All program on www.fethiyefestival.com - except it doesn't include the line up of who is performing and when.
