Ordu Culture Route Festival concludes with arts and gastronomy events

The Ordu Culture Route Festival, organized by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, has concluded after a series of events focused on art, culture, and gastronomy.

Musical highlights included a special concert at the Ordu State Theatre Stage featuring the works of Zeki Müren, performed by soloists from the Samsun State Classical Turkish Music Choir.

Educational and interactive programs were held for various age groups. Children participated in philosophy-based storytelling sessions and science and technology activities at the ASELSAN Children's Festival. Traditional craft workshops, such as prayer bead making and quilt making (Kırkyama), allowed participants to engage with local heritage.

To promote regional gastronomy, chefs participated in the ‘Lezzet Noktası’ project led by the Türkiye Tourism Promotion and Development Agency (TGA), visiting local businesses to document and promote Ordu's culinary traditions.
