The Denizli Pamukkale Municipality has announced a Camping and Caravan Festival to take place on August 29-30, 2026. The event coincides with the Victory Day celebrations on August 30. The program includes nature walks, city tours, guided travertine excursions, surprise artists and live music performances. Participation is free.

Tents on beaches and archaeological sites are also being checked, with unattended tents removed after official procedures. The efforts will continue through regular patrols.
