|
 In a friendly meeting, Ashraf Elgamal, President of The Arab American Association, met with City of Phoenix's Mayor Phil Gordon, city staff, along with many leaders of the Arab community at the Mayor’s Office, in the heart of Phoenix Downtown.
The gathering topic was The Arab American Festival and its title as the largest Multicultural event in Arizona representing 22 countries. Mayor Phil Gordon has shown his full support to have the festival moved to The City of Phoenix with suggested location of the Phoenix Downtown Cityscape Park or Steele Indian School Park. Mayor Gordon is strongly behind the Cityscape location idea, however they're still hashing out the details.
In the past 2 years the festival has been hosted by City of Glendale at Murphy Park & The Amphitheater in Glendale downtown. Last year the event gathered tens of thousand of people of all different cultures in Arizona with participation of more than 80 singers, musicians and dancers from all over the Arab world.
2012 Festival is Scheduled October 20th and 21st. for more information visit ArabAmericanFestival.Com |
