The magic of Turkey will come alive with rhythm, color, and emotion between August 5 and 10, 2025, during one of the most exciting international events in the Balkans – the International MUĞLA Dance and Music Festival. The festival will take place across three of the most picturesque seaside locations in Muğla Province – Dalaman, Marmaris, and Ortaca (Dalyan) – each located along the Aegean and partially the Mediterranean Sea. Although the city of Muğla itself is inland, the festival will immerse participants and the audience in the heart of the region’s coastal beauty.

Over six unforgettable days, resort stages will come alive with folklore dances, contemporary choreographies, choral performances, authentic music, and elegant stage artistry. Whether you’re a fan of classical art or street performances, this festival will take you on a journey through music, culture, and human emotion. Muğla – a province of beauty, history, and sea horizons – will host a cultural spectacle with international participation.

Groups of at least 15 people are invited to take part – folk ensembles, choirs, orchestras, rhythm sections, street performers, majorettes, acrobatic and flag groups, and many more. Performances can last 5, 10, or 15 minutes, and the stages will welcome acts with both live music and recorded audio (CD/USB). The detailed festival program will be announced later, while the organizers promise high-quality coordination in one of Turkey’s most desirable tourist destinations.
