The Republic night that brought together Turks living in the United States took place on 24 October 2026 at Toros Mediterranean Turkish Cuisine in Montclair, New Jersey. Hosted by Gizem Russell, the evening gathered guests around Turkish music, dinner, dance, and entertainment.
Republic Night Began with Salutes and Marches
Rather than a formal Republic Day event, the gathering organized to share the excitement of the Republic began with a salute. Then the National Anthem and the American March were played. The evening’s music program opened with works favored by Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
Among the pieces performed at the start of the program was the beloved Turkish song “Vardar Ovası.” In the later hours, guests danced joyfully to upbeat Turkish songs. The program concluded with pieces that highlighted national feelings and reflected love for the homeland.
Turkish Music and Friendship Met at the Same Table
Starting with a special dinner and continuing with music, the evening saw guests gathering around Turkish culture enjoy pleasant moments. The event, which also included participants from the Federation, became one of the meetings that helped strengthen social bonds among Turks living in the United States.
During the evening, the birthdays of two participants were also celebrated. In a program where the Republic’s enthusiasm merged with birthday celebrations, guests had the opportunity to share special moments and also enjoy themselves together with Turkish music.
Gizem Russell’s regulars met at Republic Night.
Gizem Russell, who builds a unique following around the gatherings she organizes, this time brought together the Republic enthusiasm with music and entertainment. The night, which also featured regular attendees of Russell’s events, stood out with its warm atmosphere.
The organization, which brought together the unifying power of Turkish music, traditions, and friendship under one roof, offered participants the opportunity to experience the Republic Day enthusiasm together. The national melodies that rose at the end of the evening provided a meaningful closing to the entertainment‑filled gathering.
