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.
