Trying to find out dates for the 2023 festival, I came across this news release (https://www.fibhaber.com/kapadokya-balon-festivali-4-12-agustos-2023-tarihinde-yapilacak)…. is this accurate? Can’t verify the info from any other source but this claims the dates are August 4th – 12th
Yes I checked this news but just texting about festivals and 2022, there is one sentence about 2023, I can’t announced the date based it. it is not offical.
Do you know when they announced the dates last year? We’re hoping to go as part of a larger trip to Europe, but it’s getting hard to plan without an idea of when this will be. Might have to do it on another trip. Appreciate any insight you may have!
