About Gölbaşı Belediyesi Mehmet Akif Ersoy Kongre ve Kültür Merkezi

The Mehmet Akif Ersoy Kongre ve Kültür Merkezi is the congress and culture centre of Gölbaşı Municipality, on Sahil Caddesi in the Gaziosmanpaşa neighbourhood of Gölbaşı. It is used for concerts, school performances and official commemorations organised by the municipality and by other public bodies in the district. Recent programmes give a picture of what happens here. On 13 October 2026 the municipality marked the 103rd anniversary of Ankara becoming the capital with a concert by the folk singer Gülşen Kutlu, starting at 20:00. In June 2026 the Gölbaşı district education directorate staged the year-end show of its Maarif Orchestra and folk dance group in the hall. In March 2026 the centre hosted the district programme marking the 105th anniversary of the adoption of the Turkish national anthem, and in March 2025 it held the district International Women's Day programme. Practical notes: entry to municipal events is arranged by reservation through the Gölbaşı Municipality events system at etkinlikler.ankaragolbasi.bel.tr, which was the booking route given for the October 2026 concert. Programmes are announced through the municipality and its officials on social media rather than on a fixed season calendar, so check the latest announcements before travelling. Yandex Maps lists the venue as a conference and meeting hall complex at Sahil Caddesi No. 40.
