At sunset, Muslims gather with family and friends to break the fast with prayers and a meal. The time is meant to purify the soul and serves as a practice in self-sacrifice, among other things.

Participants will have the opportunity to learn about and celebrate the Muslim customs of Ramadan and eat an Iftar meal.
