Festival Address: Phillis Wheatley Center
40 John McCarroll Way, Greenville, SC 29607
The Atlantic Institute and the Istanbul Cultural Center would like to extend our deepest thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate Turkey at our 2020 Drive Thru Turkish Food Festival! As a group of volunteers, we knew it would be a risk attempting a new format, and while we had to work out some kinks, we could not be more pleased with the results!
We thank all the volunteers that came out during this time of COVID to donate their time as well. This was our chance to do something fun with the community while also promoting a valuable cause. Raising awareness for the persecution of people across the world is a part of our mission, and the current situation in Turkey hits very close to home for many of our members.
We would also like to thank our volunteers for making this event possible, we rely on all of you to help us make meaningful outreach to our community. We have a lot of plans already for 2021 as we continue our mission of peace and understanding.
Thank you for coming and participating!! We hope to see you in person next year!
