The AAF draws attendees reflecting the diversity of the Atlanta metropolitan area and beyond. Over its history, the number of attendees has steadily increased, from 300 attendees in the first years to over 6,000. The Festival draws a diverse mix of Arab and non-Arab attendees from around the metro-Atlanta area and surrounding states. Festival participants represent some of the best Arabic restaurants, caterers, artists, and a diverse group of businesses, nonprofits, and organizations. All ages enjoy experiencing Arab cultures through the delicious food, unique performances, rich cultural exhibits & workshops, and engaging games and activities!
The Atlanta Arab Festival is organized by Alif Institute, an educational, and cultural nonprofit organization founded in 2004. Alif seeks to connect humanity through the power of arts and culture through our mission to foster the understanding and appreciation of Arab cultures.
