Metro Atlanta’s Muslim community and food lovers alike are gearing up for a brand-new tradition: the inaugural Atlanta Halal Fall Festival, taking place Saturday, November 22 and Sunday, November 23, 2025, in historic Grant Park.
The free, two-day event will turn the park into a colorful celebration of halal cuisine, culture, and family-friendly entertainment from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day.
Atlanta Halal Fall Festival: What To Know
More than 50 halal food vendors will line the grounds, serving everything from smoky beef kebabs and chicken shawarma wraps to gourmet halal burgers, loaded fries, biryani, freshly baked mana’eesh, and an array of desserts including kunafa, baklava, and halal-friendly funnel cakes. Vegan and vegetarian options will also be widely available.
In addition to the food, the festival will feature:
- An artisan market showcasing handmade jewelry, clothing, home décor, and Islamic art
- Live cultural performances including nasheed artists, traditional dabke dancing, and henna artists
- A dedicated kids’ zone with face painting, bounce houses, and games
- Prayer areas and wudu facilities for attendees
The event is open to all faiths and backgrounds. Organizers say they expect thousands of visitors over the weekend, especially as halal food continues to surge in popularity across metro Atlanta.
Parking around Grant Park is limited, so attendees are encouraged to use ride-share services, carpool, or take MARTA to the nearby King Memorial station. Limited ADA parking will be available.
