This July, get ready for a delicious roundup of global flavors… all without having to leave the ATL! So mark your calendars, Atlanta! You don’t want to miss the 2nd Atlanta Summer Halal Food Festival, back by popular demand!
What is the Summer Halal Food Festival?
The Summer Halal Food Festival is a special 2-day, family-friendly event that brings together the best halal food vendors from across the Southeast. At the festival, you’ll find delicious food, local vendors, and a welcoming atmosphere that highlights the richness of our shared traditions.
Rooted in purpose, the event also supports charitable causes and local initiatives that give back to the community! So it’s a win-win!
And this year, the festival has double in days! So instead of trying to cram everything into a single day, festival goers can enjoy a more leisurely experience!
Hasnain Lakhani, Founder of the Atlanta Muslim Festival Collective, Atlanta restaurateur, and entrepreneur, said in a statement,
One of the biggest things we learned last year is that guests wanted more time. You simply can’t experience everything in one visit. This year, we expanded to two full days so people can slow down, explore more cuisines, discover new vendors on day two, and really experience the full range of global flavors represented throughout the festival. Whether you come for one day or both, every visit feels completely different.
What can festival goers expect at the Atlanta Summer Halal Food Festival?
On top of fun community vibes and delicious food, there are SO many fun things guests can expect at the Halal Food Festival! Here are some things to get excited for:
- 70+ vendors
