Ramadan Calendar 2024
On this page:
As we approach the start of this holy month, we extend our warmest wishes to our Muslim community members. May this be a time of spiritual reflection, renewal, and growth for all who observe.
Ramadan is the Islamic holy month and is always held on the 9th month of the Islamic Lunar calendar. It is a time of fasting, self-reflection, good deeds and time with family.
To find out more about this year’s Ramadan fasting periods and local businesses offering Iftar banquets near you download our Ramadan calendar (PDF) or pick one up from your local library or Council service centre.
Each day of Ramadan ends with Iftar, where families and friends come together to break their fast. As part of Merri-bek City Council’s Ramadan celebration, we want to introduce you to restaurants around the municipality that will be open for Iftar.
From gorgeous Afghan food in Glenroy and tasty Thai in Coburg, to all the Middle Eastern sweets you can eat, we have included a list of restaurants and their locations, on our Love Merri-bek, Buy Local webpage, so you can gather and break the fast together.
We will also be hosting an Eid Community Celebration on Saturday 20 April at Victoria Stree Mall in Coburg. There will be food, children's activities and entertainment. Everyone is welcome! Find out more at ourEid Community Celebration Event page.
Wishing you a blessed and peaceful Ramadan!
