For Eid-ul-Adha in 2016, a group of community members in Central Florida decided to unite with like-minded individuals and local organizations for an Eid celebration that was family-friendly and brought people from all walks of life together at the Orange County Convention Center.
The small group of dedicated volunteers mobilized to raise over $25,000 and coordinate a memorable event for more than 2000 people in a few short weeks. Not only was it in a large indoor venue, there were games and activities for the kids that made it extra special. The group has continued to host many Eid's since then, with support from the community, growing a warm following of families from all over the Central Florida area. |
Eid Orlando is committed to reaching out to all segments of the Central Florida Muslim community to hold united, inclusive, and festive Eid prayer events that meet the needs of the growing population.
The date of the Eid celebrations is based upon the criteria/calendar of the Fiqh Council of North America.
