*The Silk Road Is HERE On Pennsylvania Avenue. (Part 1)

It's the Turkish Festival! Join me in the shadow of the Capitol Building on historic Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC for a celebration of not just Turkish culture, but also for Central Asia and the Caucasus region. Elaborate costumes, dancing, music, food and vendors await in this tradition that has been going on for over twenty years. In this channel we explore events and places, both on and off the beaten path, in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area (known locally as The DMV - DC, Maryland, Virginia). Get ready for festivals, parades, celebrations, memorials, iconic buildings, neighborhoods, museums, cemeteries, parks, etc. You will also get insight into what my job is like as a tour director/ tour guide for visiting school groups in relation to what is being covered in the videos. Every now and then there will be road trips to nearby spots such as Baltimore, Gettysburg, Annapolis, etc. Feel the energy with me as the DMV gears up for the United States Semiquincentennial/ America250 celebrations in 2026!
