The story

Tunca Formulaz Festival in Ardeşen/Tunca

The Tunca Formulaz Festival is a summer gathering held on Tunca plateau above Ardesen, a district of Rize province on Turkey's eastern Black Sea coast. Like other yayla festivals of the region, it brings highland families and visitors together for a day built around Black Sea folk dance, local food, and the seasonal move to high pasture.

Every summer, families from Ardesen and the surrounding Rize coastline pack cars and minibuses and climb the switchback roads toward Tunca, one of the many high plateaus that rise behind Turkey's eastern Black Sea shoreline.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Ardesen's high yaylas sit in the steep, forested valleys behind the Black Sea coastline, reached by narrow mountain roads that climb through tea gardens into cloud forest and alpine meadow

02

The mystery stays covered

Events of this kind typically combine horon line dancing to tulum (Black Sea bagpipe) and kemence music with communal meals of cornbread, kaymak, and fresh dairy from summer pasture herds
