The Turkish Pazar Festival will transform the iconic Queen Victoria Market into a traditional Turkish street
market as we celebrate with a Ramazan Festival on 12 and 13 April 2025.
The President of Moreland Turkish Association Mr Cemal Akdeniz OAM says “As proud migrants from Türkiye,
Cyprus and many other countries who have made multicultural Australia our home, we are passionate about
sharing our rich traditions. For many decades the Queen Victoria Market has played an important role in the
lives of the Turkish community. In 2025, we will be celebrating the end of the fasting month of Ramazan with a
community festival. We invite everyone to join us at this exciting, free and family-friendly event. This Festival is
made possible by the support of our major sponsors the City of Melbourne, Sahara Dairy and YTB
(Presidency for Turks Abroad), as well as by our many other sponsors, supporters and volunteers.”.
