Turkey

Turkey’s national day is October 29, Republic Day, 20 days from now.

Turkey's embassy brings the rich traditions of Ottoman culture right to the heart of DC, and you absolutely have to experience their events—I recently heard about their Turkish Coffee & Calligraphy program, which is exactly the kind of intimate cultural gathering where you can actually learn something meaningful while sipping authentic Turkish coffee. Whether you're drawn to the intricate art of Islamic calligraphy, Turkish cuisine, or just want to explore the bridge between Eastern and Western traditions, this embassy consistently hosts events that feel both educational and genuinely welcoming to curious locals.
