On June 4, Boise State’s Muslim Student Association hosted Eid al-Fitr to mark the end of Ramadan, a month-long period observed by Muslims in which they fast from food and drinks from dawn until dusk every day.

The festival Eid al-Fitr, “The Festival of Breaking the Fast,” begins with a prayer and can last up to three days. During Eid al-Fitr, Muslims dress in their best clothes, offer prayer in the morning, and children often receive small gifts to celebrate.
