On 28 April, I joined the Member for Leppington and Councillor Dr Betty Green at the Multicultural Eid Festival & Fair at Fairfield Showground. This event saw those from across South West Sydney's Islamic community come out to celebrate the end of Ramadan. Now in it's 39th year, the festival is the first, largest, and longest running multicultural Eid festival in Australia. It was started by the late Dr Qazi Ashfaq Ahmad OAM, a prominent Muslim community leader, in 1985 when he noticed that celebrations of Eid were confined to people's private homes and did not engage a wider cross section of the community. The festival has now evolved into a large and still growing event, and is keenly anticipated by the local community each year. It includes a huge variety of stalls that sell items including clothing, jewellery, perfume, and of course, food. In addition, the stage at the fair is open to people of all background to perform traditional dance, song, and plays. I wish to thank the MEFF Consortium for putting on such a great event, and look forward to attending in the years to come.
