Tuzla has hosted several musical festivals aimed at cultural engagement and artistic exchange.

In late August, the ETHNO BiH festival brought together over 50 young musicians from Bosnia and Herzegovina and other nations. The event focused on collaborative performances where participants shared traditional songs to create a new repertoire through workshops at the Kuća plamena mira.

Following this, the 3rd annual Mercan Jazz Days commenced at Mercan City Park. Organized by the Tuzla Municipality, the festival featured performances by artists such as Fikri Karayel and Jülide Özçelik. Local leadership noted that the event is becoming a tradition intended to foster community connection through art.
