June 19-21, 2009
Warren Avenue | Dearborn, Michigan
On June 19-21, 2009, the American Arab Chamber of
Commerce, ACCESS, City of Dearborn, and Lebanese American
Heritage Club will transform more than a half mile on Warren
Avenue in the heart of East Dearborn into the largest Arab
international festival in the nation.
The Dearborn Arab International Festival
is a family-centered cultural celebration that attracts people of all ages from Michigan, the Midwest, and
Canada. This celebration of cultures will feature ethnic
performances representing the diverse heritage of the people of
Southeast Michigan.
It boasts a great number of amusements, live musical acts-both
local and international, 30 international food booths, coffee
cup readings, henna, arts and crafts, a children’s tent,
artisans, Arab merchandise, and a giant old-fashioned Ferris
wheel that overlooks East Dearborn.
More than 300,000 people participate in the festival each year,
a true representation of the many cultures that reside in Metro
Detroit. The festival enjoyed press from all the media outlets
in Detroit and extensive exposure in the Arab World and Arab
American communities in the United States.
