The International Orange Blossom Carnival, Turkey’s first and only street carnival, which takes place in Adana every year in April, offers participants unforgettable moments with its colors, energy and enthusiasm.
As Ondokuz, we have been undertaking the management and organization of all carnival events since the first year of the carnival. We are proud and happy to host this great feast that has been going on for more than ten years.
The International Orange Blossom Carnival is held every year in April on the colorful streets of Adana and is known as Turkey’s first and only street carnival. This special event started in 2011 and has been considered the harbinger of spring ever since. During this period of orange blossom, the city bursts with vibrancy and showcases the richness of local culture. Carnival brings together people from Adana and visitors from around the world, creating a festival atmosphere where music, dance and visual arts come together.
Ondokuz Organization plays a key role in the successful realization of the International Orange Blossom Carnival. Ondokuz has undertaken the organization and management of the Carnival since its first year, providing a wide range of services from event coordination to security, logistics, artist management and event promotions. Taking care of every aspect of the event, the team ensures that the carnival grows and develops every year, offering unforgettable experiences to the participants.
The Orange Blossom Carnival is full of various cultural events and performances. During the carnival, the streets of Adana are alive with bands, dancers, street theater and live performers. With a different event around every corner, the carnival offers visitors a visual and auditory feast. There are also special activities for children, food and drink stands, and booths showcasing the work of local artists. These extensive events make the carnival not only a festival, but also a gathering of culture and art.
April is another beautiful month in Adana; the streets are filled with the heady scent of orange blossoms. During these months, Adana transforms into a festival ground that appeals to both the eye and the soul. The weather is neither too hot nor too cold, refreshing like lemonade. Short-sleeved clothes and streets full of warm, friendly people attract local and foreign visitors to Adana every year to experience this unique season. The orange blossom season, though short, leaves unforgettable memories and invites everyone to fall under the spell of Adana.
