The show
The revival begins in Lyon
Over 16 years bringing Türkiye to life in France — and a new chapter being written in Lyon.
Our story
Festiculture is not over: it is being transformed. For more than 15 years, the event has brought Türkiye to life across France — Marseille, Toulouse, Paris, Nantes, Strasbourg — drawing tens of thousands of visitors to every edition.
In 2025 a new chapter begins: Festiculture becomes FestiExpo, carried by its three Lyon-based co-founders, with the same ambition intact — to reveal the full richness of Türkiye, more authentically than ever.
2010
Festiculture is born
The first edition lays the foundations: a place to meet, discover and share around Turkish culture.
2010 – 2024
Across the whole of France
Marseille, Toulouse, Paris, Nantes, Strasbourg… fifteen years of editions drawing more than a million visitors in total.
2025
Festiculture becomes FestiExpo
The Lyon co-founders take up the torch: new name, new team, same passion — and an unapologetically Lyon-based home.
2026
Lille, Lyon & Marseille
Festi Lille in October at the Grand Palais, Festi Lyon in December, and the show returning to Marseille.
Lyon, the one and only
FestiExpo is the only official edition, run by the founding Lyon team. This is where the story began, and where the project starts again — with the standards and authenticity that built its reputation.
New team. New name. Same passion.
A carefully vetted selection of exhibitors, hand-picked food and shopping stands, shows and entertainment for every age, and that festive atmosphere that keeps people coming back year after year: that is the FestiExpo promise.
