The Flying Carpet Children Festival is a learning platform for artists and children, alike, to create a harmonious experience through music, light, beauty, and truth.
The Flying Carpet Festival (also called the Flying Carpet Children Festival) is a mobile arts and cultural festival founded in 2018 that brings together international musicians, circus performers, dancers, and visual artists to create music, performance, workshops, and storytelling for children living in conflict zones and underserved communities along the Turkish-Syrian border.
It aims to use music, art, dance, and circus as tools for joy, healing, and cultural exchange, engaging thousands of children through performances and educational workshops across multiple cities each year.
Participation in the Flying Carpet Festival is a serious commitment. The festival covers travel costs for invited artists through donations, grants, and the collective generosity of supporters around the world. When an artist withdraws after tickets have been purchased, these funds cannot be recovered and the festival — and the children we serve — are directly affected.
To ensure fairness and responsibility, all artists receiving financial assistance are required to read and sign a pledge. By signing, you confirm that you will:
- Commit to attending the festival for its full duration
- Inform the organization immediately if an emergency prevents you from attending
- Reimburse the festival for the full cost of purchased tickets if you cancel for any reason not caused by the festival
Your signature represents your professionalism, solidarity, and respect for the collective effort that makes this festival possible.
