Eid festival 2013

Celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr at the Mayor’s Eid festival in Trafalgar Square. Everyone’s invited to come and enjoy a feast of global cuisines, an entertaining stage programme and fun for the whole family.

Eid-ul-Fitr which literally means ‘breaking the fast’ marks the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting, and is celebrated by Muslims across the world. It is also a time of religious significance and a day of forgiveness and unity.

This year Eid features a fantastic food festival from 12:30pm, where you can sample a range of local delicacies from across the Muslim world, including Turkey, Lebanon, India and Morocco.

There’ll also be live music, songs, a bustling street bazaar, exhibitions, children’s activities and much more. Further details coming soon.

Eid is presented by the Mayor in association with the Eid Committee, a voluntary body made up of representatives from various Muslim community groups and organisations in London.
