Event description

ATA-DC will host a Centennial Turkish Republic Day Ball honoring the legacy of Atatürk and the nation’s journey to the present day.

The 100th anniversary grand ball will take place at the historical and glorious Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Washington, DC on Sunday, October 29, 2023 5:30pm - 10:30pm. Please see important information at the bottom*

The Proclamation of the Republic of Türkiye on October 29, 1923 marked a pivotal moment in Turkish history, as it signaled the end of the Ottoman Empire and the beginning of a new era with the founding of the modern, democratic, and secular Republic of Türkiye. Atatürk, the Republic’s founding father, implemented a series of reforms aimed at transforming Türkiye into a modern, democratic, and secular nation-state.

This year, as we celebrate this landmark milestone for the Turkish Republic, we look forward to a memorable Republic Ball with greater participation from the Turkish-American Associations and our community members.

* The "Early Bird" tickets will be on sale until September 30, after which the prices will increase. Active membership is required for the member priced tickets. Family membership holders can purchase up to 4 tickets. Single members are entitled to purchase up to 2 tickets.

The American Turkish Association of Washington, DC (ATA-DC), one of the oldest and respected Turkish American organizations in the U.S., has served the Turkish-American Community since 1965. ATA-DC’s mission is to promote Turkish culture in the U.S. and build friendship between Turkish and American people as we foster a stronger Turkish American community in the Washington DC metro area through educational, social and cultural activities.

On February 6th, a devastating earthquake hit 11 cities in Türkiye and Syria, causing the loss of more than 50,000 lives, injuring over 100,000, and displacing 1.5 million people. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this tragedy. Given the devastating aftermath of the disaster, ATA-DC Board immediately launched a fundraiser campaign with Turkish Philanthropy Funds Türkiye Earthquake Relief Fund to provide immediate and long-term recovery and rebuilding efforts for the affected communities.

We're committed to ensuring that 100% of the donations go directly to the victims and families in need. While we still identify the most pressing needs of the local communities, you can still donate and help us spread the word about this fundraiser campaign to reach our goal of $300,000.
