The goal of the Turkish Festival is to present a wide variety of Turkish arts and handcrafts, goods, and information about Turkey to non-Turkish audiences. Secondly, we hope to encourage support of Turkish-owned businesses and encourage further education and travel to Turkey. As such, priority is given to vendors in the categories below. If your organization does not fit into one of these categories, please visit our Sponsorship page.

Turkish Goods and Arts & Crafts
Arts & Crafts vendors must sell items that are of Turkish origin. Examples include: culinary goods, ebru art, rugs & kilims, pottery, jewelry, and textiles.

The early registration deadline for Arts & Crafts vendors is July 15th. A late fee will be charged after that date. All applications are due by August 1st 

All vendors in this category must pay DC Sales Tax on the items sold during the Turkish Festival. As such, ATA-DC will report Tax ID numbers to the DC Tax/Special Events Department prior to the Festival.
