The London Eid Festival is set to make a return to Westfield London this April, marking its fifth consecutive year to celebrate Eid al-Fitr in London. And in a new development, Europe’s largest Eid al-Fitr Festival will also extend to Westfield Stratford City for the first time, ensuring that more communities can partake in the festivities .
Running from April 12-14 at Westfield London, followed by Westfield Stratford City from April 19-21, the London Eid Festival promises a vibrant mix of entertainment, activities and diverse food stalls both indoors and outdoors, featuring brands representing companies from eight different countries. Anticipating more than 300,000 visitors over both weekends, the event is poised to rival the visitor numbers seen on Boxing Day at Westfield.
Katie Wyle, head of shopping centre management at Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, said: “The London Eid Festival is a huge moment for us every year as it brings together and celebrates one of our many important communities. By extending the festival to Westfield Stratford City for the first time, we aim to host an inclusive event on both sides of London where all communities can come together to experience the vibrant Eid al-Fitr celebrations, from delicious cuisine to captivating entertainment. It’s our fifth year of hosting the event and hope to make it the biggest and best yet.”
Waleed Jahangir, Managing Director at Algebra Consulting, said: “Year after year, the London Eid Festival at Westfield has blossomed, and it’s a joy to see. It’s not just about the size of the event, which has now expanded to Westfield Stratford City, but the heart, as the community and Westfield has been instrumental in this success. As organisers, we’re not just putting on a festival; we’re at the forefront of celebrating and shaping the Muslim consumer landscape. Proud and grateful, we’re ready to share this year’s bigger, vibrant Eid celebration with everyone.”
