Open Iftar 2024 x West Bromwich Albion FC

What is Ramadan?

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, observed by fasting from dawn till sunset, prayer, reflection, and charity, ending with a celebration called ‘Eid al-Fitr’.

What is Iftar?

Iftar is the evening meal with which Muslims end their daily Ramadan fast at sunset. It’s a significant part of the Ramadan observance, often shared with family and community.

What is Open Iftar?

Open Iftar is one of four activations taking place as part of Ramadan Festival 2024, Open Iftar events are the flagship initiative of Ramadan Tent Project, an award-winning charity that brings communities together and spreads the spirit of Ramadan through various initiatives.

Our mission is to turn strangers into friends, and that is why our events are open to people of all faith backgrounds and none.

Since 2013, Open Iftar has connected over one-million people across the country at some of Britain’s most iconic cultural spaces, from the Royal Albert Hall, Wembley Stadium, and Trafalgar Square, to our regional events at Baltic Museum, Bradford’s Centenary Square, Coventry Cathedral and many more!

Open Iftar bridges communities; it is a space in which our commonalities are highlighted, our differences celebrated and human connection is forged.

What can I expect?

Engaging performances, bridge-building, free food, community cohesion, spiritual reflection, prayers, and great conversations.
