There are many misconceptions in Western society about Islam, and these are often exacerbated by concerns about violence in the Middle East. The in Adelaide is a free event that brings together people of different cultures and religions to celebrate and share Islamic beliefs and traditions.

This free festival is held at Veale Gardens in the south parklands, an attractively landscaped park in Adelaide that is a popular place for weddings and picnics. Veale Gardens will come alive as thousands of people come to celebrate the best of Islamic traditions, learn more about its culture and foods, and enjoy the free things to do.



The market stalls will showcase a wide variety of culture: see the talent of Muslim artists and photographers in a free art exhibition, listen to a youth panel discussing social issues on stage, or join in a "rap battle" or poetry slam that's open to all.

Browse unique decorative works with skilful calligraphy, admire beautiful women's clothing with delicate embroidery, luxury scarves and traditional gowns. There will be plenty of fun things to do that are great family entertainment.
