From October 18 to 22, 2025, Istanbul will turn into a stage of colors, music, and dances from all around the world. At the foot of the Bosphorus, where Europe meets Asia, choirs, cheerleaders, vocal ensembles, folklore and modern dance groups will gather to share their cultural richness and energy with an international audience.

The festival promises not only impressive performances, but also a vibrant program that will take participants into the very heart of the city.
