Eid al-Fitr, the holiday marking the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, will be celebrated next week.

During Ramadan, many faithful fast from sunrise to sunset and spend more time praying. Eid al-Fitr — which means the feast, or festival, of breaking the fast — celebrates the end of the fast with large gatherings consisting of prayer, feasting, gift giving, donations, traditional clothing and spending time with family and friends.

Islam follows a lunar calendar and so Ramadan and Eid cycle through the seasons. This year, Eid will be Sunday or Monday.

Local organizations are hosting events such as prayer and family-friendly activities in the Chicago area. Here’s where to celebrate.
