This festival is celebrating Turkish culture through music, exhibits, arts, crafts, dance, shows and fabulous foods. This wonderful event will bring our rich culture and fine cuisine together, from kebabs to mouth-watering pastries.
08/07/2010 10:00:00 - 08/08/2010 22:00:00Ottoman Military Band, for the first time in Toronto, will entertain the visitors with their unique concert. This Band, which for centuries accompanied the marching Ottoman army into battles, still echoes in that of drum and zurna - an oboe-like woodwind instrument - which is a part of folk culture all over Türkiye. Mehter music was a symbol of sovereignty and independence, and its ardent sounds instilled the soldiers with strength and courage.
Location: Yonge & Dundas Square, in the heart of downtown Toronto.
