A festival born from the passion of 7 friends
At the heart of Festiculture are seven childhood friends from Lyon, who fell in love with Turkey and wanted to share the richness of their culture with as many people as possible. Since the first edition in Lyon, the festival has traveled all around France: Paris, Marseille, Strasbourg, Toulouse, Mulhouse, and at each stop, it has captivated audiences. Nantes is no exception!
Grand activities and prestigious guests
If you missed the first edition, this one promises to be even more unforgettable. The program looks intense with spectacular shows:
*A brass band of 36 musicians straight from Bursa
*Demonstrations of whirling dervishes
*Folk dances that bring traditions to life
And that's not all: well-known personalities from Turkey, like Beyza, a finalist on MasterChef Turkey, will be present, much to the delight of fans of Turkish cuisine and pop culture.
100 street food stands: a paradise for food lovers
Get ready for a true explosion of flavors. Festiculture welcomes over 100 Turkish street food stands, including:
*Tavuk döner: the original and delicious version of kebab
*Manti: small, typical dumplings filled with meat or vegetables
*Berliner: a sweet donut beloved by the young crowd
And of course, the must-try baklavas, loukoums, and other delightful Eastern sweets that are simply irresistible!
This edition features a fantastic new addition: a Turkish brunch to discover on-site! It’s the perfect moment to relax with friends or family over a cup of mint tea and homemade specialties.
