The story

Eskisehir Culture Road Festival in Eskisehir

Eskisehir's first edition of the national Turkiye Kultur Yolu Festivali ran May 16 to 24, 2026, opening at the Odunpazari Modern Muzesi in the city's historic Ottoman-era wooden-house district, with programming built around the Porsuk River, the OMM contemporary art museum, and the city's large student population.

Eskisehir made its debut as a host city of Turkey's nationwide Turkiye Kultur Yolu Festivali in 2026, becoming the sixth season's newest addition to a national program that by then spanned 26 cities.

The mystery stays covered

the historic Odunpazari district, known for its restored Ottoman-era wooden houses and now home to the Odunpazari Modern Muzesi, a contemporary art museum housed in a striking modern building within the old quarter

03

The city starts moving

and Eskisehir's strong cultural infrastructure, supported by two major universities and a correspondingly young population

04

The water draws everyone in

At the opening, an Eskisehir MP stated the festival is intended to recur annually in the city going forward, positioning this debut as the start of an ongoing tradition rather than a one-off event
