TurnPark Summer Festival: Myth

Start: Saturday, June 13, 2026 3:00PM
End: Saturday, June 13, 2026 10:00PM

The Annual TurnPark Summer Festival returns on June 13th, 2026, under the theme “Myth”! We invite you to join us for another summer day filled with performance art, immersive installations, wearable sculptures, music, dance, and meditative rituals! This is an incredible opportunity for adults and children alike to come together in the beautiful and inspiring setting of a former marble quarry transformed into an outdoor museum. Visitors are invited to explore the art, gather by a bonfire, enjoy delicious food, and participate in community art projects and workshops. This year's theme, “Myth”, offers an opportunity to research and remember old myths - both living and forgotten - as well as create new modern-day myths, filling them with artistic interpretations of current events, rethinking and defining what is worth passing on to future generations through visual art and storytelling. Start your summer with TurnPark! Let it be a summer of growth, harmony, and a deeper perspective. Kids under 12 - free Tickets: $20 through January-February, $30 March-April, $40 (through June 12), $45 (gate), 15% off for members, $20 with EBT card (gate) The highlights of TurnPark Summer Festival 2026: Myth The Kif-Kif Sisters, identical twin sisters from Montreal, Canada, will present Jam Side Up!, which explores themes of adulthood and imagination, weaving together physical theater, circus arts, music, robotics, puppetry, and performance. Stefan Zeniuk will compose a site-specific piece of music for the day. Drawing on the unique space and environment, the music will pull from the natural acoustics and sounds of the park, creating a natural dialogue between musician and space, sound and nature. OR WORKS A site-specific contemporary dance performance at TurnPark Quarry Lake. Legend of Lemons An interactive storytelling piece inspired by "A Lemon" poem by Pablo Neruda. Created and performed by SolLab. The audience contributes to the creation of the Myth about Lemons through interaction with two yellow characters who transform a simple lemon fruit into a cosmic and sacred object. Icedial Led by Estonian - American artist Jaanika Peerna, Icedial is a multi-sensory art installation that transforms the silent process of ecological decay into a rhythmic, amplified heartbeat. Chingiz Dub Chingiz Dub is a unique musical and visual experience, led by Sasha Drey and Dima Klim. Chingiz Dub mixes traditional Tuvan throat singing with experimental electronic music. Uta Bekaia: The God of Many Tongues The show is anchored by the concept of a performance that celebrates America as a cultural "melting pot" and a direct response to contemporary anti-immigration sentiment. Luna Go and Maidibor - costumes, wearable sculptures and visual installations. Every year, TurnPark becomes a laboratory for creative collectives to develop and test their boldest ideas, the results of which are often presented at the Summer Festival. Among the most commonly mentioned highlights of the TurnPark Summer Festival is its magical and creative atmosphere. But we need you to help create it! Join the festival, bring your friends, and become part of the magic! “I don’t have enough words in my vocabulary to describe how beautiful, amazing, and breathtaking it was there on Saturday. Visionary, delicate, phantasmagorical, Pagan… a sense of space merged with nature. The power of creativity, the depth, the space. Luminous, kind, strange, wondrous, funny, and scary (but in a good way) - captivating. All these art projects, everything - just came together." Yura Astakhov, festival goer
