With July being proclaimed Muslim American Heritage Month by Governor Gox, Muslim communities came together to celebrate with a halal food festival Saturday afternoon.
This is the first time that Muslims have celebrated with events the whole month, after Gov. Cox’s proclamation last year that July would be Muslim American Heritage Month. The local non-profit, Utah Muslim Civic League, has hosted these events.
