This annual celebration brings together an incredible lineup of vendors representing a wide range of global cuisines—Pakistani, Turkish, Afghan, Middle Eastern, African, Indo-Caribbean, and more. From juicy grilled meats, aromatic biryanis, and gourmet smash burgers to crispy samosas, shawarma wraps, and sweet treats like baklava and jalebi, there’s something to excite every palate.
Many vendors are beloved local halal hotspots like Mulham Cuisine, which is less than 7 minutes by car or 24 minutes walking.
Others are up-and-coming culinary stars debuting fresh takes on traditional dishes crafted especially for the festival crowd. It’s not just about the food—it’s a full sensory experience, complete with live performances, family-friendly activities, cultural showcases, and a welcoming community vibe that reflects Canada’s rich halal heritage.
