University affiliated faculties, higher education and vocational higher education institutions are known to contribute socially, culturally and economically to the districts in the provinces that they carry out their educational activities. Although the students contributions to the district are known, the contribution that districts offer to students in this sense is often insufficient. In this context, the subject of the research is the determination of the interest and participation status of the students studying in the districts of Manisa in cultural and artistic activities. Based on the subject of research, the students of faculties, colleges and vocational schools studying in the district settlements of Manisa Celal Bayar University in the 2019-2020 academic year constitute the working group. A questionnaire technique, one of the data collection tools, was applied to measure the participation of the students who constitute the Working Group in cultural and artistic activities and as a result of the questionnaire, participation in cultural and artistic events changed in direct proportion to the population density in the districts, going to cinema was the highest in these events and participation in live performance events was the lowest in the results section.
