Bodrum to host maritime festivals in October 2026

Bodrum is set to host two major maritime-themed events in October 2026. The second International Bodrum Fish Festival, known as BoBaFest, will take place from October 2–4 at the Akyarlar Karaincir Bay, specifically within the Club Marma Hotel premises and the surrounding coastline.

BoBaFest aims to celebrate the region's maritime heritage, gastronomy, and fishing culture. Following a successful first year that drew over 30,000 daily visitors, the festival has expanded to a three-day program. The event will feature gastronomy meetings, concerts, workshops, exhibitions, and discussions on sustainable fishing and marine ecosystem protection.

Additionally, Setur Marinas will participate in the Bodrum Boat Show, held from October 14–18 at Bodrum Harbor. The marina operator will showcase innovative solutions, including smart marina platforms, eco-friendly business models, and online reservation systems, highlighting its network of 13 marinas across the Marmara, Aegean, and Mediterranean regions.
