This event has become a beloved tradition, bringing together Brooklyn’s beautifully diverse families and creating a space where young people can engage with the vibrant cultures of Muslim communities across our city and beyond. In a time when fostering understanding and unity is more important than ever, I'm proud to see this celebration grow each year."
