Hi Gordon, Pete spoke to Mete Ay tonight who is Chairman of the Calis Association and organiser of the Carnival for the last two years, to find out if this years carnival is going ahead. At the moment a decision has still not been taken by his association but as soon as we know for certain one way or the other we will post this info on the forum.
In the meantime we attended a planning meeting of the Fetav Fest today which takes place from 17-24 May and this is going full steam ahead. There is a weeklong programme of events planned, mostly taking place in Fethiye and Calis but there will also be events in Uzumlu, Kemer and Olu Deniz. As well as the launch party event in Calis and the proposed big free concert in Fethiye Square at the end of the week, all of the local charities have been asked to organise an event during the week. A full programme of events will be published over the next few weeks as plans are finalised.
The 3C's have opted to hold a beach party and bbq on 21 May as their contributuion to the festivities, but in addition to this we will also be holding our annual street craft fair and market on Sunday 26 May as well as our annual charity promises auction which will be held shortly after this (date to be confirmed next week) so there are lots of things going on whilst you are out here to keep you occupied
