Little Palestine itself is not new. For more than 40 years, the community has grown into one of the largest and most vibrant Arab American business districts in the nation, with more than 200 Arab-owned businesses stretching across a four-mile corridor from Bridgeview to Worth.
The Little Palestine Project was launched to increase visibility, support local businesses, strengthen economic development, and establish Little Palestine as a destination that attracts visitors from across Illinois and beyond.
Today, people already travel to Little Palestine for its restaurants, bakeries, sweets, coffee, shopping, and unique cultural experience. Taste of Little Palestine brings that destination together into one unforgettable festival.
Our vision is to build an annual tradition that supports local businesses, attracts visitors, celebrates culture, and strengthens Little Palestine as a destination for years to come.
