The story

TUFAG International Folk Dance Festival in Yalova

The TUFAG International Folk Dance Festival is held in Yalova, a small thermal-spa province on the Sea of Marmara coast within easy reach of Istanbul, and features touring folk dance ensembles performing traditional national costumes and choreography in the style of CIOFF-affiliated folklore festivals held across Turkey each summer.

Yalova sits on the southern shore of the Sea of Marmara, a short ferry ride from Istanbul, and has built its modern identity around thermal tourism, orchards, and Ataturk's former summer residence and arboretum, the Yalova Termal Atatürk Evi.
