2026年7月13日、年に1度、この村では男たちが日暮れまで村に入れないJuly 13, 2026 — Once a year, this village won't let the men back in until dark

In Kozluören, a 721-year-old village in the Kestel district of Bursa, northwestern Türkiye, the 525th annual Kozluören Traditional Oil Wrestling and Women's Day Rice Festival was held on July 13. Each morning of the festival, to the sound of an Ottoman-era mehter military band, every man except children is sent out of the village. With the men gone, women take over running the grocery store, the coffeehouse, and even village administration for a one-day "women's reign." Gendarmerie officers are posted to keep men from re-entering until the women's rule ends. "Women to the village square, men to the wrestling field," said Kestel district mayor Ferhat Erol. The banished men spend the day watching an oil wrestling tournament outside the village, featuring around 460 wrestlers, 31 of whom advance to the finals. The oil wrestling had been suspended for 16 years before being revived three years ago. By evening, the men are allowed back in and the festival ends.
