Portland Arab Mahrajan Festival
Join in celebrating Portland’s annual Arab Festival with live delicious cuisine, bazaar, music, dance, poetry, clothing, crafts, children’s activities, and henna.
The annual Arab Mahrajan Festival is a unique opportunity to learn about the cultures of Arab countries and to better understand how those cultures have integrated into cities, towns, and communities right here in Oregon. It is a great way to spend a summer day.
This beloved annual festival brings together families, friends, neighbors, and newcomers to experience the music, dance, flavors, and stories that reflect Arabic heritage. From traditional dishes prepared with love to handcrafted art and cultural demos, the Mahrajan is a chance to honor where we come from, and share it proudly with the wider community.
Our local vendors and community partners are the heart of this celebration. You’ll find food made from treasured family recipes, artisans preserving centuries-old techniques, and organizations working year-round to uplift and connect our Arab American community. The Mahrajan isn’t just a festival, it’s a moment to gather and celebrate the stories that shape us.
