Fall Food Festival
A day of Turkish and Mediterranean food at the MARTI Center in Columbia, from kebabs, döner and gözleme to stuffed grape leaves, baklava and Turkish tea.
On Sunday, November 1, 2026, the MARTI Center opened its doors for the Fall Food Festival, our second food festival of the year after September's Mediterranean Food Festival.
From 11 AM to 7 PM, the kitchen and the grill served Turkish and Mediterranean favorites: kebabs, döner, freshly made gözleme, mantı and stuffed grape leaves, with desserts such as baklava and künefe and Turkish tea on the side.
Thank you to everyone who came, cooked and volunteered. To hear about the next festival first, sign up for our newsletter at the bottom of this page.
