Taste food from around the world at the Atlanta Summer Halal Food Festival, celebrate Georgia‘s official state fruit at Peachfest and check out a new wine bar pop-up from a local sommelier this week in metro Atlanta.

Atlanta Summer Halal Food Festival

This halal food festival, hosted by the Atlanta Muslim Festival Collective, will return for the season along the Atlanta Beltline’s Eastside Trail at the Historic Fourth Ward Skatepark. For two days, attendees can find more than 70 halal food vendors serving global cuisine as well as an artisan market and live entertainment like 2026 FIFA World Cup screenings and face painting.

This year’s festival will be inspired by a travel passport. Each guest will receive their own passport, and as they sample dishes from various vendors, they can collect country-themed stamps or stickers to represent that cuisine, according to a news release.

Participating vendors include Shawarma Grill Express, Ibu’s Kitchen, Smoking Moe’s BBQ, Chuy’s Tacos, Atlanta Mini Pancakes, Auntie Vee’s Kitchen and Island Delights.

Noon-10 p.m. July 11-12. $15-$25 per person. 830 Willoughby Way NE, Atlanta. atlantamuslimfestivalcollective.com/atlanta-summer-halal-food-festival-1

Revenant Wine

Discover this new wine bar pop-up taking place at Parkgrounds in Reynoldstown this weekend. Revenant Wine comes from sommelier Jett Kolarik, who is joined by Katie Rice from VinoTeca.

Kolarik’s idea for the pop-up is inspired by the notion of bringing wine back to life, that “wine isn’t dead, it’s just people aren’t shifting and changing for the evolving tastes and generations.”

“It’s going to be fun, easy, cool wine that has a range of price points, but also I love backyard wine hangouts, and we wanted to make this really approachable,” Kolarik said.

They are partnering with Hapa Kitchen, a Hawaiian comfort food pop-up, and the wines can be paired alongside Hapa’s dishes.

This session will focus on natural, summer wines that are easy to drink in the heat and come in a variety of price ranges, Kolarik said. The full wine list will be released this week on Instagram.

“We just want to bring it back to those roots of hanging out, enjoying wine in a comfortable way, an intentional way,” they said.

7-10 p.m. July 12. 142 Flat Shoals Ave. SE, Atlanta. instagram.com/revenantwine
