Turkey Experience presents Turkfest

Presented by the Turkish American Association of Northern Texas (TURANT)


You are invited to join the DFW Turkish community in exploring these real stories that bring Turkish culture, music, dance and arts to life at WorldFest. Experience first-hand the hospitality that defines Turkish culture as you sip your Turkish coffee and listen to stories passed on for generations. Learn to speak a few phrases of the Turkish language and  experience a live "Turkish Wedding." We have brought together artists, musicians, dancers and adventurers from Turkey and the United States to introduce DFW to the rich artistry that exemplifies all things Turkish, as well as Turkish Kebabs, Boreks, Baklava, and Turkish Tea to taste Turkish Cuisine. WorldFest's Main and Europe stages will feature continuous entertainment including three-time World Champion Turkish folk dance Ensemble from the University of Ege and live Turkish performers Hale Yamaner and Tarkan Erkan.

TurkFest is presented by the Turkish American Association of North Texas and sponsored by the Turkish Cultural Foundation (TCF), Turkish Promotion Fund, Federation of Turkish American Associations (FTAA), Western Union, Kavaklidere Wines, Trabzon Turkish Tourism Office.
