We are getting ready for MayFest 2003 – our fifth annual month-long arts and culture festival. Called the “most ambitious cultural project that Turks living outside of Turkey have ever undertaken”, MayFest was the Moon and Stars Project’s first foray into building cultural bridges between the United States and Turkey and remains the heart and soul of our organization’s endeavors.

In our fifth year, MayFest 2003 is poised to follow in the footsteps of the successes of our first four years and has grown into something bigger than any of us could have ever imagined.

This year, join us at Central Park for a free concert, see award-winning puppets tell Nasreddin Hoca tales, listen to Anatolian folk songs where baglama and opera meet, give yourself a night on the town with jazz, watch Turkish talent in an off-off-Broadway production, or visit an art exhibition (or two) and enjoy the show!
