The annual Multicultural Eid Carnival by the Australian Arab Association returns to Burswood Park on Saturday 13 April for a day of free family fun.
This increasingly popular festival will feature show rides, market stalls, food vans and cultural performances throughout the day.
The Australian Arab Association Multicultural Eid Carnival is now in its 14th year and is a celebration of Eid al-Fitr, the festive culmination of the month of Ramadan.
Eid al-Fitr is one of the most significant times for Muslims around the world. More than 66,000 Muslims in Western Australia will celebrate Eid al-Fitr with prayers, gift-giving and donating to charity.
The Cook Labor Government is supporting this event through the Office of Multicultural Interests and Healthway.

As stated by Citizenship and Multicultural Interests Minister Tony Buti:
"The Multicultural Eid Carnival, presented by the Australian Arab Association, has become one of the most anticipated events on our cultural calendar.
"The annual carnival is a spectacular day out for the whole family and an opportunity for everyone to join in the Eid celebrations.
"We are proud to support the carnival as part of our commitment to multiculturalism and ensuring cultural diversity in Western Australia flourishes and offers everyone an opportunity to learn about the many cultures that make up our vibrant society.
"To the Western Australian Muslim community and everyone celebrating, Eid Mubarak."
