Get ready, food lovers: Atlanta’s first-ever halal food festival is firing up the city’s summer scene on Saturday, July 19 at Atlantic Station. The Atlanta Summer Halal Food Festival promises a full day of flavor, culture, and community, all centered around halal cuisine and inclusive celebration.
Created by the Atlanta Muslim Festival Collective (AMFC), the festival brings Atlantans of all backgrounds together to enjoy halal food, local culture, and shared experiences. With more than 50 mouthwatering food vendors from across the Southeast, guests can explore a rich mix of global cuisines, from sizzling kabobs and gourmet burgers to indulgent desserts and refreshing drinks, all prepared in accordance with halal values, meaning made with care, integrity, and respect for halal dietary values. Like the care behind kosher or plant-based dishes, halal cuisine is something that everyone is welcome to delight in, and many foodies have likely already enjoyed halal foods before, especially in the Atlanta food scene. With its bold flavors and wide variety, halal cuisine offers something for every palate, from comforting favorites to exciting new dishes waiting to be discovered. Through educational signage and short video content, the festival will explain what halal means and reinforce that it is welcoming to everyone.
“It feels incredible to introduce the first halal food festival to Atlanta,” said Hasnain Lakhani, Festival Co-Founder + Atlanta restauranteur and entrepreneur. “As a lifelong metro Atlanta resident, I’ve always felt deeply connected to this community—from planning smaller events like the Atlanta Ramadan Food Festival to running local culinary and real estate businesses. This festival is a natural extension of that work. It’s a chance for both Muslims and non-Muslims to come together, celebrate our city’s diversity, and experience the vibrant culture and flavor of halal cuisine. We’ve brought together an incredible lineup of small and first-time business vendors offering not just food, but unique goods and experiences for everyone to enjoy.”
In addition to food, the festival will offer complimentary water, live entertainment featuring Atlanta performers and cultural acts, family-friendly games, a petting zoo, a dedicated kids’ area and a vibrant artisan market featuring handmade goods from local businesses. A scenic photo booth will be set up for families and friends to capture special moments together, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit local charities and community initiatives.
