Mark your calendars! On October 4–5, the Annual Atlanta Arab Festival (AAF) returns with an unforgettable weekend of culture, community, and celebration. Hosted by Alif Institute, this vibrant gathering is a true showcase of Arab and Arab-American heritage, bringing together people from all walks of life to enjoy Arabic flavors, sights, and sounds.

A Weekend of Culture and Connection

At its heart, the Atlanta Arab Festival is more than just an event — it’s a space for cultural exchange and understanding. Rooted in Alif Institute’s mission to foster appreciation and preservation of Arab cultures, AAF highlights the richness of Arab traditions while inviting everyone to take part in the experience.

Visitors can look forward to:

  • Unique live performances on the festival stage — from traditional music to modern acts.
  • A culinary journey at the Arab world food court, filled with authentic dishes and flavors.
  • Shopping at the souq (market) where treasures, crafts, and unique finds await.
  • Interactive exhibits, workshops, and games for all ages to enjoy.

Special Highlight: Palistory

This year’s festival features a special presentation of Palistory, a powerful artistic project that connects storytelling with the lived experiences of Palestine. Through imagery and narrative, Palistory offers an opportunity to reflect, engage, and better understand the resilience and heritage of the Palestinian people. Don’t miss this moving experience at the festival.
