Orange Fest in Güzelyurt

Since 1977, the municipality of Güzelyurt has been holding a festival dedicated to the orange harvest. The Turkish name of the city, Güzelyurt, means "beautiful place," and the surrounding area is dotted with orange and grapefruit groves.

This region is known as an agricultural plain, where most of the oranges produced in Northern Cyprus are grown, which is why it is also called the "fruit basket" of the island.

Typically, the festival begins with a traditional parade through Güzelyurt, followed by an opening ceremony. Then a series of events takes place at the city fairground and in the amphitheater, including concerts, exhibitions, and activities for both adults and children.
