🎤 Main stage action throughout the day, featuring performances from London Arab Orchestra, London Turkish Association Dance Group and Khan Brothers Qawwali Group, plus Q&As, calls to prayer and more.

🪶 A Family Zone, with lantern and headdress making, and calligraphy and stencil workshops.

🎪 Stalls from the likes of confectioners Ambala and the Desi Doll Company, as well as face painting.

🍗 Eats from Afghan Grill, Korean Fried Chicken, Halal German Hot Dogs and Fries and loads more.

Says the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan: "Eid on the Square provides a wonderful opportunity for Londoners and visitors of all backgrounds to unite and celebrate the huge contribution Muslim Londoners make to our city. Together we can continue to show that our diversity is our greatest strength, as we build a better London for everyone. Eid Mubarak!"
