Tip: Nizip is 45 minutes from Gaziantep and pairs naturally with the Zeugma ruins in the same day.
Oğuzeli is the pomegranate district of Gaziantep province, and its festival opens with the pomegranate harvest, judges the year's best nar and kurutmalık growers, and fills the district stadium with concerts.
Tip: The 2022 edition ran 8 to 9 October and the 2023 edition 6 to 8 October, so plan for the first week of the month and confirm with the district municipality.
GastroAntep spreads roughly 400 events over nine September days and about 50 Gaziantep venues, with chef workshops, a taste street and free concerts across the city.
Tip: Festival Park holds the main programme, but the taste street and workshops move around the city.
