Meet Datça Fest

August 16 – 18, 2026 · Datça, Türkiye
“Not just a festival; a network of mentorship, motivation and global solidarity”
Fashion
The TORTU show carries memory from Datça's chests to the runway: sixteen looks, two chapters, centuries of handcraft.
Music
World music recitals, the Antakya Choir of Civilizations and performances by guest countries.
Cuisine
Michelin-awarded chefs, world cuisines from Morocco to the Netherlands, and nature-to-table flavours with cooperative products.
About the Festival
Building on the ancient health and culture heritage of Carian civilization, we bring Datça's women-made local production together with modern branding, and strengthen local producers through global partnerships and mentorship networks. Meet Datça is not just a district festival; it is the first and strongest step of a sustainable Regional Promotion Movement spreading across the Muğla basin.
