The first halal food festival in Atlanta is set for July 19 at Atlantic Station, featuring more than 50 vendors with halal dishes that range from kebabs to desserts. This event, organized by the Atlanta Muslim Festival Collective, celebrates multicultural food against a backdrop of recent protests concerning immigration issues. Festival co-founder Hasnain Lakhani emphasizes community connection and the opportunity for Muslims and non-Muslims to enjoy the diversity and richness of halal cuisine, which adheres to specific dietary laws under Islamic principles.
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.
Halal applies to the dietary guidelines surrounding the preparation and consumption of food for those who follow the religion of Islam.
