Organisers of this weekend’s festival in Kayaköy have released more details of this year’s programme, which begins officially at lunchtime on Saturday.
The main programme of events will be held on the performance area which has been set up behind the village’s Can Market adjacent to the roundabout near the Kayaköy mosque.
However, organisers are hoping local businesses will also man stalls which will both line the streets and fill a special arts and crafts area, also located in a field adjacent to the mosque but on the opposite side of the road to the concert area.
A children’s area will also be hosted by the village’s Bay Efetto Restaurant while many of the community’s bars and restaurants are also planning events of their own.
