The 9th International Nilüfer Jazz Festival, organized by Nilüfer Municipality in Bursa, ran free concerts across several venues. Opening shows at the Three Seed Youth Park included performances by Görkem Ediz & Friends with Ceren Toksöz and the artist Den Ze, attended by Mayor Şadi Özdemir. On the third day, Emir Ersoy presented "Cuban Classics" that blended Latin rhythms with Turkish tunes, drawing large crowds to Balat Atatürk Forest. The following day, folk legend Musa Eroğlu performed with the Yediveren Orchestra, delivering classics such as "Telli Turnam" and "Mihriban"; the mayor presented him a flower and praised the event. The festival is slated to close on 28 June with a free concert by Tunisian singer Emel Mathlouthi. Organizers highlighted the festival’s role in fostering community solidarity through music.
