first green festival

The Festival went ahead despite the pandemic, with a hybrid programme combining specially recorded concerts and open-air performances.

All events were powered by a solar generator supplied by the Dutch company Volta Energy, making the 2020 edition Türkiye’s first green festival.

On 4 September the Festival Centre hosted Green Stories of Bodrum, a panel chaired by Professor Tanay Sıdkı Uyar of EUROSOLAR Türkiye, with Roel Bleumer of Volta Energy, Arif Yılmaz and Yaman Olgaç of the Bodrum City Council, Fahir Üzümcü of Bodrum Tohum Derneği and Cevdet Türk of Bizim Bostan. The panel, attended by approximately fifty people, was followed by a screening of the documentary Green Tales of the City.
