Eid prayers will be held in the Exposition Center at the State Fairgrounds on Sunday August 19.

Two Shifts of Eid Prayers

The first shift gathering will begin at 7AM with prayer at 8AM sharp. The second shift gathering will begin at 9AM with prayer at 10AM sharp.

Please plan to arrive early before the prayer time to accommodate weekend Fairgrounds traffic and parking.

Bring a prayer rug for yourself and one to share with your neighbor.

Eid prayers are just like the Friday prayers, with two rakahs and a khutbah. Unlike Friday prayers, the khutbah is after the two rakahs. Listening to the khutbah is an integral part of the prayers. If you have to leave early, please do so quietly.
