Honoring Heritage: Celebrating Türkiye’s Republic Day

As autumn settles over our city, the vibrant colors of culture and history come alive during a very special time for the Turkish community in Boston.

This year marks the 101th anniversary of the declaration of the Republic of Türkiye, a momentous occasion that transformed a nation and inspired its citizens.

To honor this historic milestone, the Council will host a flag raising ceremony on Tuesday, October 29th at 11:00 AM on City Hall Plaza followed by a reception, inviting residents and visitors alike to immerse themselves in the richness of Turkish heritage.

The Boston Turkish Arts & Culture Festival, now in its 29th year, has played an essential role in promoting Turkish heritage and fostering understanding between diverse communities in the Boston area and beyond.
