LONDON (Dispatches) -- The annual World Halal Food Festival is returning to the London Stadium on September 23-24, promising a dazzling spectacle experience that will enchant thousands of passionate halal foodies from around the world.
“We’re thrilled to return to the iconic London Stadium, right in the heart of the community, for the world’s biggest halal food event of the year,” Waleed Jahangir, Managing Director at Algebra Festivals, said in a statement published by British Muslim Magazine.
“The World Halal Food Festival is an opportunity for members of all communities to come together and experience the flavors of the world under one roof with family and friends.”
Formerly known as the London Halal Food Festival, this year’s celebration of halal cuisine is held for the eighth year.
Nestled within the breathtaking Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, it will host 200 international halal food and shopping stalls.
“We are delighted to welcome back this incredible food festival for its third year at London Stadium!” said Graham Gilmore, London Stadium CEO.
“Our venue is an ideal fit for this event, which brings together the food, music, and culture of the Muslim community for all to enjoy in the heart of East London.”
Partners include the London Metropolitan Police, the British Islamic Trade Association, Tariq Halal Meats, and the British Muslim Magazine.
The concept of halal, meaning permissible in Arabic, has traditionally been applied to food.
Muslims should only eat meat from livestock slaughtered by a sharp knife from their necks, and the name of Allah must be mentioned.
