PARTICIPANTS
We owe much of the Festival’s success to a diverse group of participating exhibitors and vendors who showcase or sell a wide range of merchandise reflecting Turkish-American heritage, culture, art, and cuisine.
If you would like to participate and promote your products as an exhibitor or a merchandise vendor at the 8th Annual Chicago Turkish Festival 2010, please send us an email with photos of your merchandise and any detailed information pertaining to your exhibit to info@chicagoturkishfestival.org. Further information and application forms will be available on this page in 2010.
Thank you for your interest in the festival.
