What sets the World Halal Food Festival apart is its ability to attract food enthusiasts from all over Europe and beyond, turning London into a foodie heaven for the weekend. The festival offers an eclectic mix of flavours and experiences, making it a must-visit event for anyone passionate about food, culture, and community.

Graham Gilmore, CEO, London Stadium, said: “We are delighted to welcome back this fantastic festival, which celebrates the food, music and culture of the Muslim community. It has become a regular in our annual calendar of events and we could not be happier to see it return for a fourth year with us here in east London.”

Waleed Jahangir, Event Director said: “Food unites us, breaking down barriers and misconceptions. The World Halal Food Festival celebrates this unity by showcasing the rich diversity of Halal cuisine. 

As Malcolm X said, ‘When people sit down at the table and break bread together, it is not merely food that is shared, but understanding and respect.’ 

This festival creates a space for everyone to come together, share a meal, and appreciate our shared humanity. My dream is for this event to keep growing, fostering cultural appreciation and unity year after year.”
