A family celebration of a national holiday in Türkiye denoting National Sovereignty and Children’s Day that falls on April 23, 2026.  This day commemorates the foundation of the National Assembly, which marked the official declaration of the new sovereign nation, declared for the first time in 1924 by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

Atatürk also dedicated this holiday as a gift to children, showing his respect and hope in future generations of children to carry on these ideals of the new republic.   Our event will be family oriented with hands-on kid activities, samples of Turkish cuisine, and some cultural sharing and artifacts to peruse.
