About Kültürpark İzmir

Kültürpark İzmir is one of the largest, most deep-rooted, and iconic green areas of the city, located in the Konak district (Mimar Sinan Neighborhood, Şair Eşref Blv. No:50), considered the heart of İzmir. Established in 1936 and hosting the İzmir International Fair (İEF), Turkey's first and most deep-rooted fair every year, this massive area is also the epicenter of İzmir's cultural and social life.

Housing the Atatürk Open Air Theatre, İsmet İnönü Art Center, Celal Atik Sports Hall, fair halls, art galleries, and a massive natural habitat within it, Kültürpark sets the stage for large-scale open-air concerts, theatre plays, book fairs, thematic festivals, and exhibitions throughout the year. It is both a breathing point for the people of İzmir who want to spend time intertwined with nature and one of Turkey's largest open-air event areas.
