CONNECT with the City2025 Ramadan
The holy month of Ramadan is celebrated by Muslims on the 9th month of the Islamic lunar calendar all around the world and is a time of introspection. Muslims abstain from eating and drinking during daytime to remind themselves of those less fortunate and to strengthen their relationship with their faith. Muslims gather and take part in different activities, such as engaging in social events, feasts, prayers and acts of charity. During Ramadan, Muslims break their dawn-to-dusk fast with a community-focused meal called Iftar.
The expected dates of Ramadan shift slightly depending on location and moon-sightings, but roughly begin during the evening on Friday, Feb. 28 and end on Saturday, March 29. Eid al-Fitr, or the “Festival of Breaking the Fast,” is a one to three-day celebration commemorating the end of Ramadan. San Diego Public Library hopes you can celebrate and learn about Ramadan during our events.
