Eid-al-Fitr is undoubtedly the highlight of the Islamic calendar worldwide, marking the end of Ramadan with a joyous transition from fasting to feasting. This year, it falls on 30-31 March, bringing with it an atmosphere of joy, reflection, and renewal.
In Singapore, the festival is known as Hari Raya Puasa, and it’s a truly remarkable spectacle to witness and partake in. Families gather, with children dressed in new clothes, to visit the mosque and share home-cooked meals. The spirit of community is celebrated as they seek forgiveness from elders and extend goodwill to loved ones and neighbors.
One of the main attractions in Singapore is the Geylang Serai festive light-up, where a dazzling array of lights and decorations transform this traditional Malay neighborhood into a vibrant wonderland. The local Eid bazaar, one of the largest and most popular in Singapore, offers a wide variety of food, clothing, and cultural artifacts.
While the celebrations can be found throughout the city, the best place to truly experience the spirit of Hari Raya Puasa is at the stunning Sultan Mosque.
