Eid al-Fitr

The end of Ramadan. In Iraq, the celebration begins with the Eid prayer at the mosque, followed by family visits, new clothes, and the distribution of Eidi (gift money) to children. The Iraqi Eid table includes kleicha (date-filled pastries), and every family has a recipe that is better than their neighbor's. The kleicha debate is the Iraqi equivalent of the bagel debate: round or flat, date or walnut, and the correct answer is whatever your grandmother made. . 2026: Mar 31. 2027: Mar 20.

Eid in America

When Ramadan ends, Muslim Americans celebrate Eid al-Fitr with prayers, food, and family. In Dearborn, Michigan, which has the highest concentration of Arab Americans in the country, the Eid prayer fills Fordson High School's football stadium. In New York, Eid prayers fill parks and convention centers. The AHA! moment: in 2015, New York City became the first major school district to close for Eid, recognizing that Muslim children deserve the same recognition that Christian and Jewish children receive. . 2026: Mar 31. 2027: Mar 20.
