join our celebration of middle eastern culture

Arabian Festivals, Inc. is a non-political, non-religious, non-profit organization dedicated to fostering a better understanding and appreciation of Arab people and their rich cultural heritage. Through networking, educational programs, festivals and other events, the American public will experience our culture, traditions, history and values, while a sense of community and cohesiveness is promoted among Arab Americans. With our economic success, we hope to establish an Arab Community Center to communicate our culture and a Scholarship Fund to provide assistance to needy students.
