Land of Legends Legendary Jazz Festival

The first-ever Legendary Jazz Festival, hosted by “Land Of Legends & Shopping Avenue,” was a gift to Antalya. This festival brought together renowned musicians from Turkey and around the world, who have created their own styles using the universal language of Jazz music.

The festival stage pushed the boundaries of musicality, welcoming jazz musicians from all over Turkey, as well as from the Netherlands, Canada, and the United States. Additionally, visitors were able to explore the "Aykut Uslutekin Jazz Photography Exhibition" for 10 days. Uslutekin, a master photographer and jazz enthusiast celebrating his 40th year in the profession, has showcased his works at numerous international festivals. The festival, free to attend, kicked off on Friday, October 5, with the opening cocktail of the Jazz Photography Exhibition. The event featured daily performances by jazz musicians on street stages and exhibitions, continuing with main stage concerts until midnight. The Legendary Festival, featuring both veteran jazz artists and musicians blending jazz with their unique styles, has established itself as a tradition in Antalya.
