Atlanta Arab Festival

In 2006, Alif Institute organized its first Arab American Family Day in cooperation with the Arab American Women’s Society of Georgia. The event featured educational displays about the Arab culture and Arab Americans, live music performance, folk dancing, traditional Arab costumes show, and various activities for children.

In 2010, the Family Day was grown to a two day event and renamed Atlanta Arab Festival

Over the years, the event became an annual tradition that the community enjoys and looks forward to. In 2011, the Atlanta Arab Festival grew in numbers and drew about 2700 attendees.
