New York City is set to host the vibrant and colorful Turkish Day Parade on May 17-18, under the auspices of the Presidency's Directorate of Communications.

This annual event aims to strengthen the bonds of unity and solidarity within the Turkish-American community and to highlight their significant economic and cultural contributions to the city.

The festivities will commence with a flag-raising ceremony at Wall Street-Bowling Green Park on May 17. This symbolic event is expected to draw a large crowd, including community leaders, local politicians, and members of the Turkish diaspora, all gathered to honor and celebrate their heritage.

The Turkish Day Parade serves multiple purposes; it is not only a celebration of Turkish culture and traditions but also a platform to reinforce the economic and cultural ties between Turkey and the United States.

It provides an opportunity for Turkish-Americans to express their cultural pride while educating others about their rich history and traditions.

The parade is a highlight of the Turkish-American community's calendar, showcasing traditional music, dance, and culinary delights that offer a taste of Turkey to New Yorkers.

 It also underscores the important role that the Turkish community plays in the local economy, from small businesses to large enterprises.
