About Event

Get ready for an unforgettable weekend at Chicagoland Halal Fest 2026—a dynamic cultural experience blending community, cuisine, and celebration. After a record attendance of 22,000 guests, we’re moving to a larger venue: the College of DuPage campus in Glen Ellyn.

This family-friendly festival brings the rich flavors, artistry, and traditions of the Muslim world to one of the Midwest’s most vibrant regions.

Come enjoy halal street food and some of the most popular restaurants in the area—Middle Eastern, Turkish, South Asian, American, Mexican, and Indonesian cuisine—explore artisan vendors featuring jewelry and clothing from around the world (including Turkey, Pakistan, India, Palestine, and Syria), experience uplifting performances, and connect with the community.

Whether you come for the food, shopping, entertainment, or the atmosphere—this is where culture comes alive.
