North America’s largest Annual Halal Food
Festival returns to Toronto in 2019
TORONTO : Halal Food
Fest Toronto (HFFTO), the
largest halal food festival
in North America returns
for its seventh consecutive
year between Saturday,
July 20 and Sunday,
July 21, 2019 at The International
Centre in Mississauga.
With over 200 of
the Toronto's top halal restaurants,
bakeries, manufacturers,
specialty stores
and artisan vendors, this
year's guests are in for
a diverse range of flavours
from around
the world all under
one roof, all halal.
Exhibitors are
looking forward to
getting their delicious
creations into the hands
of hungry guests. Unique
menu items being served
up this year includewhite
chocolate Panipuri from
Mia Bhai, Krispy Kreme
Texas fried burger from
Chef Ahem Baig, cotton
candy coated buffalo
chicken wings, nihari sliders,
halal beef jerky from
Carne Jerky and much
more. This year's show expects
to attract over 35,000
visitors from around the
GTA and across the border.
"The Muslim population
in Canada is the
fastest-growing religious
group and the needs of this
market continue to grow,"
says Faizal Kagdi, Founder
of Halal Food Festival
Toronto. “Families are
always excited to find out
what is new in this market,
and the opportunity to
come out, sample delicious
foods and see interesting
presentations makes a
great day out”.According
to most recent Statistics
Canada's data, it is estimated
that the country's
Muslim population currently
sits at 1.4M and is
projected to exceed the size
of Canada's 1.6 million Chinese
population by 2021*.
As this niche community
grows, the food sector will
need to work strategically
to fill in the growing gap.
Walking through this
year's Halal Food Festival
will share a glimpse of the
multicultural community
while giving insight into
the industry, sourcing and
halal education.
New this year will be
