The New England Muslim Festival team welcomes you all back to the most prominent Muslim event in New England, Insha’Allah. The 3rd Annual NEMF (after the pandemic) is here with a better and more significant event with your participation and financial support, Insha’Allah. We invite you again to participate with your generous financial contributions. This year also, the event will feature an afternoon of fun, ethnic food, and frolic for Muslims and Non-Muslims, including kid’s rides, entertainment, and a grand bazaar. The NEMF is designed to showcase Muslim’s rich culture, which will be presented with Qur’anic recitation, spoken word, Nasheed’s, folk songs, mime, and artists and crafts. All in all, an excellent opportunity to make us ‘Muslims’ and your business known to thousands of visitors from all over the New England States and via Social Media. Insha’Allah.

This year we are expecting to have 7,000+ attendees, all from Americans, Moroccans, Algerians, Indo-Pak, Bangladesh, Far East, Hispanic and Arab backgrounds. A souvenir book will be given to all attendees, presenting excellent targeted advertising for local and national businesses for a long time. We have put together very reasonable pricing packages for advertising/sponsorship and are confident that your business’s ROI will be much better and beneficial. We hope you will be one of our sponsors again and make our 3 rd event even more successful, Insha’Allah.
