About the Event

Eid Mubarak! Families and community members of all ages are invited to join in a joyful afternoon of crafts, activities, and treats. We’ll be joined by our friends from the Coalition of Muslim Women K-W who will help lead the celebration and share more about the traditions and meaning of Eid.

Drop in to make festive crafts, enjoy hands‑on activities, and spend time together in a warm, welcoming space. Whether you’re celebrating Eid yourself or simply interested in learning more, everyone is welcome to join the fun.

Presented in partnership with the Coalition of Muslim Women K-W.
