The festival is put on in partnership with the Turkish American Cultural Association of Washington (TACAWA). Visitors will find a lively marketplace, food, music, dance, and more. As the festival has been happening since 2001 it has grown and changed throughout the years.
Overall, the goal is to “foster friendship, to highlight the diversity and richness of Turkish culture and Turkish speaking countries” through “organizing educational, entertaining, and engaging cultural programs that celebrate Turkish and Turkic cultures and heritage.”
Enjoy!
