Hello, Is there anyone on the forum who lives in Samsun? We are travelling in the Black Sea and will be visiting Samsun soon. Last year our friends experienced a large festival on 1st July in the city. Does anyone know if this is an annual event? If so, is it always 1st July? If not, what date will it occur this year? Many thanks for your assistance.

I think gokuyum lives in Samsun...

I think Samsun hosts an International Folk Dance Festival each year around July.
