Thought I read somewhere in the last couple of days that it may not happen this year. Something between organisers and Belediye.

I was told last year, by a Turkish friend,  something along the lines of, the Belediye had funded it for the 4 years since inception.  After this period the government would either grant, or not grant, it a 'festival' status.  If it was granted then funding would come from the government.  If not, the Belediye would not continue to fund it.  As yet there is no information forthcoming as to whether it is granted or not.

It would be such a shame if the Uzumlu Mushroom Festival is not continued. What a waste of all of the hard work and goodwill input, to build it up over the last four years. People come from far & wide and the event gives a real boost to the village & villagers.
Each year it has improved, offered something new and the whole village comes out to support the festival.
The atmosphere is fabulous, especially on the last night when the square is packed to capacity and it's lovely to see everyone having fun together.

I wasn't aware that the mushroom festival was a charity event Tinkerman, as you know, the ULG only arrange events that raise money for charity and they do it very well I must say.
Title: Re: Uzumlu Mushroom Festival
Post by: tinkerman on February 13, 2013, 16:19:40 PM
They certainly do it very well and if other bodies are not willing to promote this popular event why not make it a charity event, it certainly is very popular and brings in a lot of people?  :)

The fees for the mushroom hunt will be Lira not Sterling.  Chrome translate is a bit weird like that.

Thanks for the Program in english, Eric.

If any of you want to have it handy on their smart phones, or they want to view it more graphically how each event overlaps with other events so you can plan ahead which ones you want to be a part of -you can bookmark, or simply visit my new facebook page (keyword 'FETHIYEANDAROUND' ;) and click on the link there to the Google Calendar for Fethiye.andAround.com.

https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=7sejo5nf7hqeqiecl2r1i83l38%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=Europe%2FIstanbul (https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=7sejo5nf7hqeqiecl2r1i83l38%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=Europe%2FIstanbul)

not sure if i did the 'link' thing correct -my apologies if i screwed up.
 
Title: Re: Uzumlu Mushroom Festival
Post by: UPtownr on April 18, 2013, 20:53:50 PM
Glad to see the link thing works. If you go there I recommend the 'week' view, and set your Google Calendar preferences as 'Monday' to be your first day of the week. This way you can see the weekend (Fri-Sat-Sun) as one chunk of a time slice, not Sunday on the left, and Fri-Sat all the way on the other end. And on the 'Week' view the events of the Festival stack up as different sized boxes overlapping each other based on length of time.

sorry -got carried away. I love 'infographics'!  :)
