Silk Road Festival Set for Oct. 4th through 7th in Texas
STAFFORD, Texas, Sept. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Turquoise Council of Americans and Eurasians (TCAE) has announced the First Silk Road Festival, which will run from October 4 to 7, 2012 and bring together the exotic cultures along the historic trade route in Eurasia.
The six participating countries, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, will put on a massive display of their cultures at the festival grounds in Stafford, south of Houston. The mission of the festival is to introduce visitors to the ethnic, cultural and historic bonds they share together.
"This is the only event of its kind in the US," said Kemal Oksuz, President of TCAE. "We want Americans to have the opportunity to discover and enjoy the best of Turkic hospitality, culture, heritage, arts and cuisine."
The festival will feature life-size replicas of famous landmarks from each country, as well as dozens of stands selling regional foods and crafts. There will also be live concerts and dance performances at multiple stages around the festival and many other attractions for visitors of all ages.
The concept was developed following the success of the Houston "Turkic Cultures and Children's Festival," which began in 2006 and has become a popular family event in the region.
