Held in the Bay Area, which is home to some 300,000 Muslims, the event is expected to achieve a historic success like the first one."AlhamdullAllah, the turn-out at Halal Fest 2013 by far exceeded all expectations with approx. 10,000 people in attendance!" the website of the Halal Fest wrote.

Although there are no official figures, the United States is believed to be home to between 6-8 million Muslims.
