Merve, a volunteer at the festival, said she was enjoying being part of a "culture-promoting" event.
"Culture is for sharing. We're sharing right now. That's why I'm so happy and excited," added Merve, who lives in the nearby state of Maryland.
Another volunteer, Hazal, said she had the opportunity to introduce visitors to Turkish culture and mix and meet with local Turkish people who live in the area.
"It's a very good feeling," she said.
Visiting the festival at the recommendation of their Turkish neighbor, an Afghan couple said they loved Turkish culture.
"There are amazing people here. I'm very happy to be here," said Khaleed, who came with his wife, Hafza.
