Dear Friends of Turkey,

 

It is that time of the year – once again, the American Turkish Association (ATA) of Houston, is preparing for its annual festival in October. This year’s festival, Turkishfest 2009, will be TWO DAYS and held on Saturday and Sunday, October 10-11 2009 at Jones Plaza in Downtown Houston. Jones Plaza is centrally located between Alley Theater and Bayou Place in the Theater District.

 

Last year, this annual event hosted more than three thousand guests.  This year, with two days, we expect even more people.  Once again, we are planning to present the Turkish culture to the people of Houston in a grand fashion.  As usual, there will be delicious food served throughout the day; fresh brewed Turkish tea and coffee with fortune reading; activities for children; paper marbling, calligraphy, carpet sewing exhibitions and lectures; concerts by various bands; whirling dervishes; folk dancing and belly dancing workshops and shopping opportunities reminiscent of the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul.  The festival will be capped off by a lively concert on both days.

3-table vendor area: 1 day-$450/ 2 days-$550
