Eid Al-Fitr
April 2, 2025
New York City
As we organize this groundbreaking event, we hold space for the immense pain and loss felt across the world. We recognize the ongoing genocide and apartheid in Palestine, and the tragic loss of innocent lives in Lebanon, Sudan, Yemen and across the world. These injustices remind us of the urgent need for solidarity and action in the face of colonization, oppression and violence. We unequivocally stand in support of the arms embargo against Israel and the right of return for Palestinians, affirming our commitment to justice and dignity.
We want The Eid Ball to be a meaningful experience, uplifting joy as an act of defiance in a world that seeks to stifle our spirit, and we do so with the fight for liberation and the unwavering belief in a future where we can thrive in safety and freedom.
From Sudan to Palestine, Bangladesh to Indonesia, Muslims all over the world celebrate Eid in style. We honor and transform our sartorial traditions in a riot of colors and patterns.
Wearing new clothes to mark the holiday is significant both culturally and religiously – it’s a symbol of new beginnings and renewal of faith. And in a world in which there’s so much against us, it’s an important way to join together to express our joy and gratitude.
New York City ballroom is renowned for its unapologetic expression of identity and style, creating community for the marginalized, in particular, Queer Black and Brown people.
In connecting with our city’s legacy, we aim to honor the elegance, tradition and modern interpretations of Muslim fashion while embracing the inclusive spirit of ballroom. We are proud to partner with the Haus of Us, a vogueing house founded on New York’s trailblazing scene.
By highlighting Muslim fashion with the dynamic energy of ballroom, this event not only honors the beauty and diversity of our global diaspora, but also enriches the cultural tapestry of the city.
It will be a night to transcend boundaries and foster a spirit of collective pride, all towards benefitting a cause we can unite around.
