Europe’s largest EID Festival returns to Westfield for its sixth year
Eid-al-Fitr celebrations will make a grand return at Westfield London and Westfield Stratford City next month, marking the sixth consecutive year of hosting Europe’s largest Eid festival – the London Eid Festival.
The vibrant event will unite communities in a lively celebration, fostering togetherness as Ramadan comes to a close. Following the successful debut of the London Eid Festival at Westfield Stratford City last year, the festival will once again span both centres, allowing even more communities to join in the celebrations and enjoy the spirit of Eid.
With over 300,000 visitors expected across both weekends, the event is set to rival the bustling crowds typically seen at Westfield on Boxing Day.
The London Eid Festival will take place across two weekends, 4th to 6th April at Westfield London, and 11th to 13th at Westfield Stratford City. Visitors can look forward to a vibrant mix of entertainment, activities and a diverse array of food stalls both indoors and outdoors.
The festival will showcase offerings from hundreds of brands across multiple countries including Turkey, Malaysia, Dubai creating a truly global celebration.
Guests can explore 80 international concessions, offering everything from modest fashion and boutique gifts to children’s books and homeware.
Entertainment will take centre stage in Westfield Square at Westfield London and will feature a range of local talent and groups, with live performances. Adding to the festive atmosphere, the exclusive Westfield music playlist, curated specially for the event weekends, will set the perfect backdrop.
From community icons to a diverse mix of performers, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. And don’t forget there will be plenty of community celebrities and VIPS on the main entertainment stage hosted by Tariq Halal.
Katie Wyle, Head of Shopping Centre Management at Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, said: “The Muslim community is incredibly important to both our Westfield centres in London, and the London Eid Festival continues to be a standout moment for us each year.
Following its successful debut at Westfield Stratford City in 2024, we’re thrilled to bring it back for a second year, allowing the event to flourish across both sides of London.”
Waleed Jahangir, Managing Director at Algebra Consulting, said: “The London Eid Festival at Westfield London and Westfield Stratford City has grown year after year. Beyond its expanding scale, it’s the community spirit and Westfield’s support that truly driven its success.
As organizers, we’re not just hosting a festival; we’re shaping and celebrating the evolving Muslim community consumer landscape, and we can’t wait to bring an even bigger, more vibrant Eid celebration to life for everyone to enjoy.”
