We’re taking over the city’s parks with music and dance for a day

The festival’s traditional free event, Jazz in the Parks, returns this year, once again bringing Istanbulites together with music in the city’s parks. Alongside bands selected for the festival’s Young Jazz+ programme, singer-songwriter Fikri Karayel will also take the stage, inviting audiences to enjoy music under the trees on some of the most beautiful days of summer.

Reaching a wide audience with his hit Yol, Fikri Karayel has become known for his distinctive style and dynamic live performances that bring together a range of musical influences. This summer, he joins Jazz in the Parks, where the festival invites Istanbulites to gather for another memorable open-air concert.
