Eid in the City: Middle Eastern Night Markets 2017
Street food, stalls, music, photography and film, all celebrating Middle Eastern culture.
Overview
The Commune Waterloo will be transformed into a sensory explosion when Eid in the City returns for its second year on Friday, August 4 from 5pm to 10pm. A celebration of Eid, which marks the end of Ramadan, the Middle Eastern Night Markets will bring together a massive variety of street food, art, craft, design, music, photography and film.
Ramadan, for those not in the know, is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. It's the holy month, during which participants fast, pray and give to charity. The aim is to promote empathy, generosity and an attitude of gratitude, and Eid is the festivity and feast that follows. While Ramadan and Eid were celebrated back at the end of June this year, the Commune is keeping the party going with their massive event.
You won't be short of company, either — the Facebook event has racked up nearly 5000 RSVPs and counting. Tickets are only 10 bucks but are strictly pre-sale only, so make sure to head over here to nab one.
