TL;DR
Kaleiçi OldTown Fest runs from 8 to 11 October 2026 in and around Antalya's Old Town (Kaleiçi). The 9 October programme included daytime art workshops and flute performances, a festive procession at 18:00 from the Yeni Kapı area to Karaalioğlu Park, a concert by Hadrian's Gate, and the official opening with a concert at 20:30 on the park's viewpoint.
The opening procession starts at 18:00 from the old Belediye building near Yeni Kapı, passes Hadrian’s Gate and Kaleiçi, and finishes at the middle viewpoint along the Karaalioğlu Park seafront.
Görken Durmaz performs from 18:00 to 19:30 on a stage beside Hadrian’s Gate, making it an easy stop for visitors already exploring Kaleiçi before the evening opening.
For daytime activities, art and collage workshops are scheduled at 13:30 and 16:00 in front of Alp Paşa Otel; solo flute performances take place at 15:00 and 16:00 near Cleopatra Ink Studio.
The official festival opening and evening concert begin at 20:30 at the middle viewpoint on the Karaalioğlu Park waterfront. Arrive early, as this is also where the procession ends.
