Moena Turkish Festival (Italian: Le Festa Della Turchia) is a festival held in the village of Moena, in the Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol region of Italy.

It has been held for more than 300 years to commemorate Janissary "Balaban Hasan", who took refuge from Vienna to Moena during the Second Siege of Vienna. The festival is held every year in August. During the festival, Turkish music is played and Turkish food is served in the village. Turkiye tries to promote Turkish culture in the region by participating in this annual festival, both officially and with some non-governmental organizations.
