TurkFest celebrates the multiple cultures that link modern Turkey to the East and West. Traditional folk dance and music performances, art and textile exhibits, food, shadow puppetry and more reveal the colorful ethnic communities of this country, where diverse civilizations have coexisted for thousands of years. From the Hittites and Assyrians to Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires, Turkish culture is a unique mosaic centered in one of the most dynamic regions of the world. Presented by the TurkFest Steering Committee.
