Launched by the World Ethnosport Union to bring traditional sports and games to wider audiences, Etnotır continues to tour Turkey in the 2026 season through the Turkey Culture Route Festivals and various events. Starting in Isparta on March 26, the tour takes part in 28 events across 23 cities within the scope of an eight-month program, contributing to keeping traditional sports and games alive in different cities and across generations.

28 Events in 23 Cities
Carrying traditional sports and games to city centers, university campuses, and various event areas through a mobile setup, Etnotır meets with visitors with a comprehensive program in the 2026 season. Taking part in Turkey Culture Route Festivals, university events, local festivals, and national sports organizations, the program provides an opportunity for different age groups to get acquainted with traditional sports and games.

Following the festival route stretching from Aydın to Eskişehir, Samsun to Konya, Malatya to Kayseri throughout the season, Etnotır was also set up on university campuses in Isparta, Burdur, Antalya, Denizli, and Ankara. The campus programs, carried out with the contributions of student volunteers, enabled young people to meet directly with traditional sports and games.

Taking part in various organizations ranging from the Nowruz celebrations in Niğde to the Bursa Osmangazi April 23 Festival, and from the Kütahya Germiyan Festival to the Nevşehir Göreme Horse Festival, the program contributes to the reach of traditional sports and games to wider audiences.
Etnotır also took part in the Turkish Wrestling Federation Minors Turkey Championship held in Ankara between July 18–24.
