When is Eid al-Fitr? 

When Ramadan ends, the Festival of Breaking the Fast or Eid al-Fitr as it is otherwise known is celebrated.

This year, Eid al-Fitr begins in the evening of Saturday, May 23 and ends in the evening of Sunday, May 24.

Eid marks the end of the dawn to sunset fasting of Ramadan and is typically celebrated with decadent foods, sharing gifts and spending time with friends and family.
