Ramadan & Eid al-Fitr events for families in Brooklyn

Ramadan, the holiest month in Islam, is a time of fasting, prayer, and reflection, observed this year from February 17th to March 19th. From dawn to sunset, Muslims abstain from food and drink, coming together for iftar, the evening meal. The month concludes with Eid al-Fitr, a joyous occasion marked by prayer, feasting, and festivities. Below we have rounded up Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr events in Brooklyn to help you gather, learn, and celebrate!

Our new Events Calendar is here featuring convenient filters by category, location, ages, dates and more to make your Brooklyn social life as fun and meaningful as possible.
