On Saturday, May 5, there will be celebrations for Cinco de Mayo and the Kentucky Derby.

But for those who want to get in touch with their Mediterranean side, there also will be a Turkish Festival.

It runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Pacifica Institute of Utah, 363 W. 2720 South, in South Salt Lake.

Admission is free, but bring your wallet to sample the food and purchase unique craft items.

For more details, call the institute, a non-profit organization of Turkish Americans, at 801-415-9872.
