posted on: Apr 18, 2015

The 10th annual Atlanta Arab Festival kicks off this weekend.

The festival showcases Arabic food and music, but Angela Khoury, the director of the Alif Institute, which organizes the event, said on “A Closer Look” festival goers will have a bigger opportunity.

“They will have a chance to meet Arab-Americans to learn about the culture.”

“It’s really about bridging with people,” Khoury explained.

The Atlanta Arab Festival at the Alif Institute gets underway at 11 a.m. Saturday and runs through Sunday afternoon.
