Cultural and economic activities in Kahramanmaraş

Overview

Kahramanmaraş is hosting various events and maintaining local traditions. In mid-October 2026, the Onikişubat Municipality organized the 2nd Auto Show Onikişubat, which focused on new zero-kilometer vehicles from global brands, alongside the Onikişubat Zahire Festival aimed at promoting local culinary culture and women’s labor.

Broader regional developments include the traditional grape harvest in the Bertiz region and efforts to preserve historical educational institutions. Environmental initiatives have also emerged, such as a Zero Waste Workshop hosted by Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University to discuss climate change resilience and resource management. Meanwhile, the city continues to navigate the tension between industrialization and the survival of traditional handicrafts like saddlery and felt-making.
