Atlanta Arab Festival @ 我就喜歡這樣的妳

why we have Arab Festival ?

Arab Festival can be traced back to 2006, Alif Institute organized its first Arab American Family Day. 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 which was so sucessful that we renamed Atlanta Arab Festival. The Festival also included the participation of local artists, food providers, businesses and organizations.
