We warmly invite you to Galataport Istanbul on April 23rd to celebrate National Sovereignty and Children’s Day. The day will be filled with open-air, free, and fun-packed events designed for kids. 

🦁 Beloved children’s character Kral Şakir takes the stage at Doğuş Square with his exciting “Muhtişim Show” and “Mirket İş Başında” performances. 

⭐ The magical Disney Princess Crown Corner will be ready for colorful photos, while the Prince & Princess Face Painting and Crown-Making Workshops turn little ones into fairytale royalty. 

🕺🏼 Back by popular demand, the Dance Battle, previously organized with Istanbul Street Dance and now sponsored by Sneaks Up, brings music, rhythm, and competition together. Young finalists will take the stage with live DJ performances, showcasing their talent for a chance to win surprise prizes. 

🎨 Hosted by Doğuş Otomotiv Plus, the Acrylic Painting and Ceramic Workshops invite children to express their imagination and creativity by the Bosphorus in a fun and artistic atmosphere. 

All events are free of charge and open to everyone.
