When is Eid 2023?
This year, Eid will fall between April 20th – 23rd, and Muslims will spend the day dressing up in new clothes, visiting loved ones and enjoying traditional meals. Muslims will often start their day with a visit to the mosque for morning prayers, and wish each other Eid Mubarak which translates to ‘Have a blessed Eid.’
