The Roma people celebrate in Ahırkapı the return of Spring happily playing their traditional music while the Istanbul folk merrily dance along.
if you are planning a trip to Istanbul in May, don’t miss the spring festival Hidrellez in Ahirkapi.
Join the people writing their wishes on small pieces of paper and burying them under trees, jumping over a fire and singing songs at spontaneous street parties.

Thanks for sharing your photos, they really give out celebration vibes. Is this celebration happening now? For us it is still the middle of winter so it is hard to even think about the beginning of spring.
