CHILDREN'S CULTURAL FESTIVAL (CCF-2012)

As the Turkish Cultural Center Boston we are pleased to announce our first Children’s Cultural Festival. The goal of Children’s Cultural Festival is twofold: to give children an opportunity to express their cultural heritage, share with others the beautiful, colorful traditions of their culture and to explore the richness of other cultures surrounding them.

The Festival will bring together cultural traditions from around the world with performances and presentations by children in the greater Boston Area (grades K-8). Please save the date for this exciting event that will take place on Sunday, April 29, 2012 between 2pm-5pm in Boston University Morse Auditorium.

The festival will only be as good as the diversity of the performers! We are looking for participation in all components of the event. If you are interested in attending the Children’s Cultural Festival, receiving updates about it OR having your children or students participate, please contact Outreach Coordinator, Zehra Beyza Omer and you will be added to our mailing list.
