I was down there earlier today and it is looking really good & the stage has indeed be erected but there is still considerable work in progress and some of those animal sculpters could do with a trim already : :)

The opening ceremony was a truly amazing event. Its looks fantastic, the water fountains with changing colour lights, brilliant new statue, glass bridge with water forced on to coloured squares and fantastic topiary. The mayor has much to be proud of.

We saw them practicing with the fountains and lighting when we were there earlier this week. I must say they have done well. It's going to be fabulous. A huge improvement to that part of Fethiye. If I was there I would try to get up on the terrace bar opposite Macdonalds, surely the best vantage point.

It was a great night, the park looks amazing.
Very professional with that Turkish twist that we love.... They were still trying to finish the clock tower, they had signs to put up saying Istanbul, London, Berlin and one for Moscow that was broken in 3 bits!
2 guys in a crane were positioned ready to unveil the Statue, brilliant.
Was a bit worried when they lit the fire pit at the top of the statue, not sure there should have been so much lack smoke!
Otherwise great music, traditional costumes, loved the fountains, kids were loving the coloured paving slabs, everyone having a lovely time.
Great hospitality from the Kismet guys, fab atmosphere and definitely memorable.

A brilliant night and so good to see the bars on "The Strip" busy.
They have made a wonderful job of the area around the Kultur Centre, the new roads have transformed the back streets and brought new life to the area with the street cafes.
The Park and Town Square are a triumph. Children and adults alike were dancing in the jets of water in front of the Kultur Centre.
A huge improvement to naturally beautiful Fethiye.
Looking forward to what I hope will be many events in the new square.
