3. SAN FRANCISCO TURKISH FESTIVAL

Experience the colors, flavors, music, art, and traditions of Türkiye and the wider Turkic world at the 3rd Annual San Francisco Turkish Art & Culture Festival, presented by the Turkish American Association of California (CALTURKS).

Join us for two unforgettable days at Embarcadero Plaza, bringing together our community and visitors from across the Bay Area for a celebration of culture, friendship, and heritage.

This year’s festival will feature 48 vendors, offering an incredible variety of Turkish food, desserts, coffee, handmade products, jewelry, textiles, art, crafts, and more.

Our stage will be alive throughout the weekend with Turkish and Turkic music and dance performances, including performers representing Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and the Uyghur community.

We are especially excited to welcome four artists traveling from Türkiye to San Francisco to share traditional Turkish arts and cultural heritage with festival visitors.

Guests will also have the opportunity to discover centuries-old Turkish artistic traditions, meet artists and cultural representatives, enjoy live performances, experience traditional music and dance, and learn more about the extraordinary cultural diversity of Türkiye and the Turkic world.

And, of course, come hungry! Enjoy beloved Turkish favorites, sweets, pastries, coffee, and many more tastes of Türkiye throughout the weekend.
