Eid Mubarak (Arabic: عِيد مُبَارَك‎ ʿīd mubārak) is an Arabic phrase that means “Blessed feast/festival.” The term is used by Muslims all over the world as a greeting to celebrate Eid al-Fitr to mark the end of Ramadan and Eid al-Adha (which is in the month of Dhu al-Hijjah).

On the 20 April 2024 some members of the Manukau Branch of NCW attended this celebration where activities included cultural performances, traditional cooking workshop, kids fashion show, face painting, henna, calligraphy and a food market.

A range of food from different ethnicities was available to purchase. Free coffee and other drinks were provided.

This celebration was provided by the NZ Ethnic Women’s Trust.
