The Eid Festivals are celebrations of the two major Muslim holidays: Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha. The Festivals are full day events starting with a large congregational prayer, followed by a day of family fun and entertainment.
The Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) has held the largest Eid Festivals in Canada for the last 54 years in the GTA. Last year the Eid Festivals were held at the Rogers Center and Direct Energy Center. The Eid Festivals offer spectacular celebrations including a carnival of with many fun-filled rides, shows, sport tournaments and a variety of international cuisines.
Many businesses come together in our unique bazaar to showcase their products and services to the community. The Muslim Association of Canada would like to invite you to join this grand celebration that has become a fabric of Ontario's heritage and Toronto's multicultural mosaic. The Event has had over 10,000 attendees come together to celebrate Eid which is an amazing sight for anyone to witness. The Festival provides a unique oppurtunity for your children to experience a true sense of Eid.
