About Republic Day Eve

Republic Day Eve serves as the official preparation period for Turkey's most significant national holiday. It is a half-day observance where government offices, schools, and businesses begin decorating streets and public buildings with Turkish flags and portraits of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as communities prepare for the upcoming national celebrations.
