Join the Arab American Cultural Center as we celebrate Eid and learn about special foods from different countries and cultures in the region.

Eid in Arabic means festival or holiday.  April this year holds Eid El-Fitr عيد الفطر at the end of Ramadan and Eid Al-Fiseh (Easter) عيد الفصح among other holidays شم النسيم. Families across the region spend Eid with each other being grateful for good health and enjoying good food and each other's company.

This event is part of Arab American Heritage month events. The Arab American Cultural Center is organizing a series of events to celebrate Arab American Heritage Month during April. The state of Illinois designated April as Arab American Heritage Month (AAHM) in 2018 and the Department of State recognized it nationally in 2021. During April, Arabs and Arab Americans are honored and celebrated for their historical contributions, culture, traditions, history, arts, and overall social presence as a community in the United States.
