All are welcome to visit Ramadan Fest in Surrey March 5-9 at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds. Running nightly between 4:00pm and 3:00am, it’s the region’s latest festival! Enjoy five nights of dazzling lights, over 120 vendors, and over 20 food stalls serving global flavours and delicious Halal food.
Dates: March 5-9, 2025 from 4:00pm to 3:00am nightly
Ramadan Fest is meant to be a one-stop shop for food, gifts and a space for prayer, while also giving non-Muslims a place to go and learn about the religion and the holy month.
Organizer Zubair Kerami told CBC’s The Early Edition that the Cloverdale-based festival is about bringing people together, and offering them everything they’ll need for their Ramadan celebrations. “These are the night markets where people can come and have a variety of options in terms of food and drinks, wonderful cuisines, but also great options for shopping.”
Ramadan is celebrated during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and begins on the first sighting of the new crescent moon. The last 10 days of Ramadan are considered especially holy and significant. This year, Ramadan will end on March 29th. Ramadan concludes with Eid al-Fitr — the festival of the breaking of the fast.
