In 2006, there will be a total eclipse of the sun in Turkey and an outdoor open air festival to celebrate the event,
Soulclipse, has been organized near Antalya city.
The festival follows a long history of other Eclipse festivals that have occurred around the world and will take place March 27 to April 2, 2006 in Paradise Canyon, which is set on the banks of the beautiful Beskonak river in a national park approximately 75 km north east of Antalya city.
This site has been carefully selected to optimize the viewing of the eclipse, which will take place there on March 29th 2006 at 2:00 p.m. and will have a long totality duration of three and a half minutes.
Presale of tickets has been extended until December 31st, 2005.
