Presented by House of Japan, with support from Common Culture Company and 100% Music, Little Asia Carnival takes place at Kemer Country Club on Saturday 16 May, bringing together music, gastronomy, art, and cultural rituals in an open-air setting inspired by Asia’s diverse traditions. Designed as a full-day experience, the event blends festival energy with immersive cultural elements, creating a space that moves between performance, exploration, and social gathering. Tickets are available via Common Tickets.
Drawing inspiration from multiple regions across Asia, the festival’s music program will feature genre-spanning selections that reflect both traditional influences and contemporary sounds. Throughout the day, performances and curated sets will shape the atmosphere, building a rhythm that evolves from relaxed daytime exploration into a more dynamic evening energy.
Food plays a central role in the experience, with a wide selection of street food and signature dishes representing cuisines from countries such as Japan, China, Korea, India, and Vietnam. Curated by some of Istanbul’s notable names in Asian cuisine, the culinary offering is paired with specially crafted cocktails designed to complement the flavors and overall setting.
Alongside music and food, the event includes a range of interactive workshops and creative spaces that highlight both traditional and modern artistic practices. Activities such as origami, kintsugi, mandala design, incense-making, and lantern crafting invite attendees to engage directly with different forms of artistic expression, adding a hands-on dimension to the festival.
Set within the natural surroundings of Belgrad Forest, the experience emphasizes openness and movement, offering both outdoor and indoor areas that allow guests to explore at their own pace. With a pet-friendly environment and a focus on community, Little Asia Carnival aims to create a relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere that encourages discovery throughout the day.
The artist lineup will be announced soon, with the event positioning itself as a multi-layered cultural gathering that brings together sound, taste, and creativity in a single setting.
