Winter Playland's final session begins at 15:00 on Sunday evening, 27 December. The weekend's closing gathering carries the two-day festival's stage shows, workshops and play areas into the evening hours. The format matches the other sessions: magic and puppet shows, theatre plays, a New Year's brass band, a science workshop and children's concerts run throughout the day across the festival grounds, while the stage schedule for the 27 December evening session is announced in the event calendar. Winter Playland is a New Year-themed children's festival held on 26-27 December 2026 at the Wyndham Grand Istanbul Kalamis Marina Hotel. Aimed at children aged 1-10 and their families, the programme brings together magic and puppet shows, theatre plays, science workshops and children's concerts on stage. Beyond the stage, workshops, play areas, interactive activities and New Year-themed experiences run all day across the festival grounds. The festival takes place in four separate sessions over two days, morning and evening; tickets are sold through Passo. This page covers only the 27 December evening session; the same day's morning session and the 26 December sessions have their own pages.
